Some forms of programmable networks such as funnelWeb allow service components to be deployed discretely (i.e. out-of-band) on a suitable configuration of elements, but do not define mechanisms to determine such configurations. We present a mechanism to resolve arbitrary service-specific deployment constraints into a suitable node configuration. To focus constraint resolution, we arrange programmable elements into an overlay, and use this to interpolate/extrapolate more favourable locations. Programmable service components are used to evaluate suitability of individual nodes.
