This article discusses the problems of optimal placement of information resources on the nodes of a computer network. The main methods used in solving this problem are presented. In particular, the method of random allocation of resources, optimization of allocation of resources using the branch and bound method, and optimization of allocation of resources using a genetic algorithm are considered. For these methods, the structure of the input and output data has been determined, in addition, the internal structure of resource allocation has been demonstrated for the presented methods. A key aspect of the consideration in this article is the formulation of the problem and the modeling of its solution using the algorithms presented. As a result, testing of the developed module on the input data and analysis of the prospects for using the module are presented.
