Abstract

The intelligent water drop algorithm (IWD), it is considerably a new algorithm based on nature, it was proposed in 2007 for the travelling salesman problem, and until today is still being in numerable investigations, and applications, is this paper the aim is to show as clearly as possible how does work the algorithm, the pseudo code, flowchart and some of its applications.
