Announcement of New EPSRC Network for Artificial Immune Systems 
(ARTIST)

An EPSRC network has recently been launched for the area of 
Artificial Immune Systems (AIS).  This is a new and exciting area of 
research, that uses ideas from immunology to solve complex problems 
in computing and engineering.

If you are interested in learning more about AIS, then we would like 
to invite you to join the network - this can be done via the ARTIST 
webpage at:

http://www.artificial-immune-systems.org/artist.htm

On this webpage you will find out about:

* Opportunities that ARTIST are providing for workshop.
* Funding mechanisms for researchers.
* Collation of AIS expertise, e.g. code repositories and test data.
* An on-line forum for the exchange of ideas.
* etc.

There are a number of workshops planned throughout the lifetime of 
ARTIST, with the first one in May 2004. This workshop will focus on 
how to get immunologists, mathematicians, computer scientists and 
engineers all talking and working together.  Financial support for 
travel etc to the workshop will be available from ARTIST.

All are welcome to join, no matter what your area of research, or 
your job. ARTIST is designed to be a truly interdisciplinary network. 
PhD students are partially encouraged to join.

Please do visit the network website to learn more.
