The immune system is a distributed, self-adapted and complex system, which has the ability of self-organizing and dynamic balance. Clonal niche selection algorithm which is composed of the clonal selection principle and the niching technology can solve the problems of optimizing function in an effective way.Clonal niche selection algorithm is applied to the typical multi-modal function, the results show that algorithm has the advantage of fast convergence and stability. Then, the paper analyzes some parameters for the effect of the performance of algorithm, gives the optimal set of parameter values. Finally, the algorithm is applied to the intersection traffic signal timing problem, and the simulation results show its effectiveness in practical optimization problem. |
