Scenario-Based Connector Optimization

Software components can be connected by XML processing pipelines, which may perform adaptations. In our model, individual pipeline stages serialize source data structures to XML, perform one or multiple XSL transformations, transport the message to its destination and finally deserialize it to target data structures. Implementation of this model is open to optimizations. The present paper discusses two such optimizations: symbolic execution and lazy evaluation.
