Approaches to Information Measurement of the Structure State of Technical Systems

Abstract

Opportunities of application of the approaches of known scientists to the information measurement are analyzed. The structure of a technical system is proposed as the object of measurement. This structure is characterized by the amount of system elements, possible number and probabilities of its states. Classical mathematical expressions of information theory are presented and the possibilities of their application for determining the information amount and information entropy are established. The issues of accumulation, removal of uncertainty and regulations of the variety of information with reference to considering structures of system are touched.
