	abstract = {Internet applications have reached such a high complexity that the network stack concept introduced decades ago is not suitable anymore. Future Internet research activities try to increase the flexibility of the Internet in order to allow the network to adapt to present and future requirements and applications. A well known approach is to build protocol graphs, which will be used instead of inflexible network stacks, by connecting functional blocks together. A functional block encapsulates a particular network function. The protocol graph that should be used is the one most suitable to the application{\textquoteright}s requirements. To find the most suitable graph, all possible protocol graphs must be evaluated. However, the number of possible protocol graphs increases exponentially as the number of functional blocks increases. This article presents a method of modeling the protocol graph search space as a set of search trees and then using search strategies to manage the inherent complexity of the search process. We evaluate our proposed method by simulation.},

	abstract = {Dependability is a major concern in software development, deployment, and operation. A commonly accepted solution for providing fault tolerant services on the Internet is to create replica of the services and to deploy them to several hosts. Whenever the service or the underlying node or network fails, another service is ready to take over. In the Venice project, several techniques are combined to create a dependable framework for deploying and managing distributed services using replica on several distinct network nodes.},
