Abstract
We look at multiparticle production processes from the Information Theory point of view, both in its extensive and nonextensive versions. Examples of both symmetric (like pp or AA) and asymmetric (like pA) collisions are considered showing that some ways of description of experimental data used in the literature are of more general validity than usually anticipated.
