Abstract:: Autonomously acting networks are required to keep their administration overhead low. If communication infrastructure is broken it has to be repaired. On the one hand mobile nodes that act as relays might be required to reestablish the connectivity of partitioned networks. On the other hand services (that could consist of either one instance - one central server - or multiple instances - a distributed service) required within that network have to be placed such that the traffic is as low as reasonably achievable. That is the problem of Service Placement. In order to accomplish that task, services do not only have to be initially placed but migrated or replicated. Or maybe an interface to that service by a relay or proxy entity has to be initiated.
