Abstract
A streams manager includes a connection converter that allows converting at run-time a static connection to a dynamic connection, and converting at run-time a dynamic connection to a static connection. One or more conversion criteria are defined that determine when a conversion of one or more connections is needed at run-time. When conversion criteria for converting a static connection from a first processing element to a second processing element to a dynamic connection is satisfied, the first processing element interacts with the streams manager and with the second processing element to dynamically change the static connection to a dynamic connection. When conversion criteria for converting a dynamic connection from a first processing element to a second processing element to a static connection is satisfied, the first processing element interacts with the streams manager and with the second processing element to dynamically change the dynamic connection to a static connection.
