The mammalian immune systems show vast adaptivity. The adaptivity is characterized by responsiveness and diversity. The responsiveness is arisen from the response network of the immune systems and the diversity is produced from the rearrangement of the genes related to the immune systems. Recently, many artificial immune algorithms have been devised inspiring with the natural immune systems. This paper proposes a new scheme of artificial immune algorithm, named Rearrangement Immune Algorithm (RIA), in which the rearrangement of the immune system is explicitly utilized combining with the evolution of the gene library using a Genetic Algorithm (GA). We show the performance of the RIA via applying an HP protein folding problem.
