comprehensive experimentation with the model described in this paper will be
used to understand better the recognition abilities of degenerate detectors. This
insight will then lead to the identification of design principles for using degen-
erate detectors. Based on these an AIS with degenerate detectors for the task
of pattern classification will be designed and built, that may provide greater
scalability and generalisation performance over existing classification AIS.
