Appia is a protocol composition and execution framework that aims at simplifying the design, implementation, and configuration of communication protocols. In this paper, we report our experience in applying Appia to build adaptive communication systems. The insights gained with the experience have lead us to build a new version of the framework, called R-Appia, that includes a significant number of features aimed at supporting the dynamic reconfiguration of communication protocols. This paper describes and discusses the new functionality of this framework
