Answer
See Dr. Mark Ludwig's books on computer viruses, some of them free for download, at http://www.ameaglepubs.com/store/index.html

For a look at the most advanced research in the field, see http://www.arcs-workshop.org/ The link to "slides05" will download a zipped file of presentations from their Nov. 2-3, 2005 workshop. I was there and can testify that it includes fascinating concepts.
