Abstract
Although modularized protocol frameworks are flexible and adaptive to the increasing heterogeneity of networking environments, it remains a challenge to automatically compose communication stacks from protocol modules. The typical static classification into network layers or class hierarchies cannot appropriately accommodate cross-cutting changes such as overlay routing or cross-layer signaling.
In this paper, we discuss how protocol composition can be driven by functionality and demand at runtime based on extensible semantic models of protocols and their execution environment. Such an approach allows to reason about the functionality and quality of automatically composed and adapted protocol compounds and it is open to existing and future protocols.
