Tutorial on Negative Selection Algorithm

Abstract

The primary aim of this paper is to incorporate the educational objectives of the revised Bloom’s taxonomy in the creation of educational material and assessments for teaching the concepts of the Negative Selection Algorithm. Bloom’s revised taxonomy makes the learning process easy for learners by dividing the educational material into increasing levels of complexity. Bloom's revised taxonomy identifies six cognitive levels, starting from basic steps in learning to the more advanced steps. The tutorial material is designed specifically to accommodate the first three cognitive levels of Bloom’s revised taxonomy. The material will help students to acquire basic knowledge of the concepts of the Negative Selection Algorithm. This paper also provides a working example and an application that will help students in developing a working knowledge of the concepts of the Negative Selection Algorithm.
