Abstract :
In this paper we introduce entropy of information into ant colony algorithm. Through computing the value of entropy of information quantifying the distribution of ant choice path, we dynamicly adjust the path choice strategy and solve the problem of stagnation or early maturity from strategy choice in traditional ant colony optimized algorithm.
