Shuffled frog leaping algorithm(SFLA) is a sub-heuristic collaborative searching swarm intelligent algorithm,
which is combined with memetic algorithm(MA) based on genetic genes and particle swarm optimization(PSO) based on
the feeding behaviors of particle swarm. Therefore, the basic principle and procedure flowchart of SFLA are discussed in
details. The research progress and the application conditions of SFLA are introduced. And the development tendencies and
the future research directions are proposed.
