It is already known the significant impact that they have on their behavior the correct choice of their values. Given the importance that has the proper adjustment of the parameters, our work presents a self-adjusting alternative for a constructive metaheuristic called Intelligent Water Drops. To evaluate our proposal we solve the Software Project Scheduling Problem, obtaining very similar results and one case superior to the version with manual adjustment.enacceso restringidoComputer ScienceControl And Systems Engineeringconference paper
