The study shows the necessity and features of the design of distributed information-measuring
systems of precision multifunctional measuring complexes. The use of the ethernet family standard is the basic
technical solution for building the information level. The formulation of a mathematical model of the structure
optimization of a distributed information-measuring system which is reduced to a modified clustering problem
is presented. It is proposed to use an approach based on a genetic algorithm to solve the problem. The research
of the algorithm is performed by analyzing the modifications of the classical algorithm based on the variable
mutation, under which the mutation probability varies depending on the needs of the algorithm. Results of
numerical experiments showing the advantage of the proposed formulation of the problem for constructing the
architecture of a distributed information-measuring system are presented.
