The detection of anomalies in unknown environments is a problem that has been approached from different perspectives with variable results. Ariticial Immune Systems (AIS) present particularly advantageous characteristics for the detection of such anomalies. This research is based on an existing detector model, named Artificial Bioindicators System (ABS) which identifies and solves its main weaknesses. An ABS-based anomaly classifier model is presented, incorporating elements of the immune system AIS. In this way, a new model (R-ABS) is developed which includes the advantageous capabilities of an ABS plus the reactive capabilities of an AIS to overcome its weaknesses and disadvantages. The RABS model was tested using the well-known DARPA'98 dataset, plus a dataset built to carry out a greater number of experiments. The performance of the RABS model was compared to the performance of the ABS model based on classical sensitivity and specificity metrics, plus a response time metric to illustrate the rapid response of R-ABS relative to ABS. The results showed a better performance of R-ABS, especially in terms of detection time.
