Intelligent Water Drops algorithm (IWD) is a population-based algorithm where each drop represents a solution and the sharing between the drops during the search lead to better drops. The results of this study prove that the proposed algorithm can produce a high quality examination timetable in shorter time in comparison with the manual timetable.en-USoptimizationintelligent water drops algorithmexamination timetableUniversiti Sains Islamic MalaysiaProceedings Paper318325
