Keywords: complex system; reliability synthesis assessment; data conversion; information entropy method; research field

The reliability assessment method is studied for the system composing of different and same distribution type components according to equivalence principle of information quantity. The conversion models of the entropy method for component data and the reliability assessment formulae of complex systems are presented. The method is illustrated by examples.
