摘　　要：人工免疫系统(artificial i mmune system,AIS)是目前人工智能领域的研究前沿之一.分析了AIS所要解决的各种工程实际问题的共性特点和聚类特征,将工程领域中的各种AIS应用问题聚类归纳为若干类别的典型工程问题,在此基础上提炼形成了工程免疫计算(engineering i mmune computing,EIC)的概念.给出了EIC的定义,对其概念内涵进行了阐释,说明了EIC和AIS之间的关系;构建提出了EIC的研究框架,包括基本原理、实现技术、工程应用以及理论分析和实现方法等5个部分,并对这些组成部分进行了详细阐述.从面向问题求解的免疫设计和面向产品演化的免疫设计2个方面对基于EIC的产品设计方法进行了阐述,以产品设计为例,对基于EIC的工程应用展开了进一步说明.结合AIS在工程领域中的应用现状及其存在的问题,展望了EIC的发展方向,着重论述了其在产品设计领域中的应用前景.EIC概念的提出充实和发展了AIS的研究范畴,可为更好地利用AIS解决工程实际中的诸多复杂问题提供有效的方法指导.Artificial immune system（AIS） are at the forefront of artificial intelligence research. This paper begins by analyzing commonness and clustering features in solving practical engineering problems with AIS. The application problems related to AIS in different engineering fields were then classified into several typical categories of engineering problems. On that basis, the concept of engineering immune computing （EIC） was abstracted and formed. After this definition of EIC was presented, the conceptual meaning of EIC and the relationship between EIC and AIS were explained. A research framework for EIC was constructed, and its constituents were discussed in detail. From two aspects namely immune design for problem solving and immune design for product evolution, the method of product design based on EIC was addressed to take product design as an example to further state the engineering application based on EIC. Referring to the present application status of AIS in engineering fields and the existing problems, perspectives in the application of EIC were discussed. In particular, developmental directions of the application of EIC in the field of product design were prospected. The presentation of the concept of EIC expands the research scope of AIS and can provide efficient methodological guidance for applying AIS to solve complex problems in engineering practice.
