00925njm 22002777a 4500 dc Rabanal Basalo, Pablo Manuel author Rodríguez Laguna, Ismael author Rubio Díez, Fernando author 2017-08-18 River formation dynamics is a metaheuristic where solutions are constructed by iteratively modifying the values associated to the nodes of a graph. Its gradient orientation provides interesting features such as the fast reinforcement of new shortcuts, the natural avoidance of cycles, and the focused elimination of blind alleys. Since the method was firstly proposed in 2007, several research groups have applied it to a wide variety of application domains, such as telecommunications, software testing, industrial manufacturing processes, or navigation. In this paper we review the main works of the last decade where the river formation dynamics metaheuristic has been applied to solve optimization problems. 1877-7503 10.1016/j.jocs.2017.08.002 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/19333 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jocs.2017.08.002 Applications of river formation dynamics
