Modified and Ensemble Intelligent Water Drop Algorithms and Their Applications
(2015)
1.1 Introduction Optimization is a process that concerns with finding the best solution of a given problem from among the possible solutions within an affordable time and cost (Weise et al., 2009). The first step in the ...
An ensemble of intelligent water drop algorithms and its application to optimization problems
(Elsevier, 2015)
The Intelligent Water Drop (IWD) algorithm is a recent stochastic swarm-based method that is useful for solving combinatorial and function optimization problems. In this paper, we propose an IWD ensemble known as the ...
