Abstract

The East Japan Earthquake on March 11 and the ensuing tsunami and nuclear power plant catastrophe showed the urgent need for reconciliation between humans and nature. We consider that today's engineering and supporting sciences may require reconsideration in evaluating robustness, and focus on a system reliability approach and optimization framework. Since information networks such as the Internet and sensor networks have expanded to such an extent that they can be considered similar to the neural systems of humans, we need to design a defensive system comparable to immune systems. This paper revisits a design paradigm of immunity-based systems and explores solutions for the reconciliation problem.
