Spreadsheet-style dependency tracking

2010-10-16 Thread Florian Weimer
Are there libraries which implement some form of spreadsheet-style dependency tracking? The idea is to enable incremental updates to some fairly convoluted computation. I hope that a general dependency tracking framework would avoid making the computation even more convoluted and difficult to
