Abstract

This paper discusses how the use of compression techniques aimed at decreasing data transfer times over a communication network can influence the response time of an application that process SOAP messages in the context of a service-oriented architecture. Following an overview of the most known object models and comparing some of their features, the article presents an heuristic that can be used to decide whether a soap message either should or should not be compressed. A simulated experiment shows that the proposed heuristic can help in reducing the service response time in a variety of scenarios.
