A Survey on Intelligent Water Drop Algorithm
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTERS & TECHNOLOGY - Year 2014, Vol 13, Issue 10
Abstract
In the optimization areas, there are different algorithms that have been applied such as swarm intelligence algorithms. The researchers have found different algorithms by simulating the behaviors of various swarms of insects and animals such as fishes, bees, and ants. The intelligent water drops algorithm is one of the recently developed algorithms in the swarm intelligence field; this algorithm mimicked the dynamic of river systems. The natural water drops used to develop Intelligent Water Drop (IWD) algorithm. Therefore, the mechanisms that happen in rivers have inspired the researchers mainly to create new algorithms. IWD is a population-based algorithm where each drop represents a solution and the sharing between the drops during the search lead to a better drops (or solutions). This paper presents recent developments of the IWD algorithms in terms of theory and application. This paper concludes many of research directions that are necessary for the future of IWD algorithm.
