Abstract

The article proposes a method for optimizing the structure of the software and hardware complex of an automated control system for continuous technological processes for large industrial enterprises. General information is given on the relevance of the problem of choosing the structure of a system built on the basis of serially produced components, a formal description of the optimization problem is given, the criterion and limitations are highlighted. A solution method using the metaheuristic algorithm of ant colonies is described. A numerical example of the solution is given, the results of the algorithm are analyzed, and directions for further research are determined.
