An introduction to logical spreadsheets

چکیده
A logical spreadsheet is a spreadsheet in which the formula language is composed of logical expressions. Logical spreadsheets were invented shortly after traditional electronic spreadsheets were introduced, but since then logical spreadsheet research has been somewhat sparse. Recently, however, there has been a resurgence in interest of logical spreadsheets in the research community. In this article, we summarize logical spreadsheet research up to this point.

An MCL algorithm based technique for comprehending spreadsheets
Spreadsheets are computer programs. However, as with programs written in traditional programming languages, it is very difficult to understand a spreadsheet created by others. This is because spreadsheet users normally view the superficial numerical (value) view of spreadsheets although computations are specified through “hidden” cell formulas. The cell formulas also define the data-flow struct...
متن کاملFinding High-Level Structures in Spreadsheet Programs
Spreadsheets are a common tool in end-user programming. But even while important decisions are based on spreadsheet computations, spreadsheets are poorly documented software and the differences between simple oneshot computations and large, long-living sheets are not well understood. Like other software, production spreadsheets are subject to repeated maintenance cycles. Consequently, as with c...
متن کاملA Spreadsheet Auditing Tool Evaluated in an Industrial Context
Amongst the large number of write-and-throw-away-spreadsheets developed for one-time use there is a rather neglected proportion of spreadsheets that are huge, periodically used, and submitted to regular update-cycles like any conventionally evolving valuable legacy application software. However, due to the very nature of spreadsheets, their evolution is particularly tricky and therefore error-p...

Computerized spreadsheets are a great success. They are often touted in newspapers and magazine articles as the first “killer app” for personal computers. Over the years, they have proven their worth time and again. Today, they are used for managing enterprises of all sorts from one-person projects to multi-institutional conglomerates. The power of computerized spreadsheets derives in large par...
متن کاملSpreadsheet Generation from Rule-based Speciications
Experimental studies have pointed out that operational spreadsheets contain a lot of errors. In this paper, we propose to use a multidimensional rule-based data manipulation language to specify spreadsheets. This language allows formal declarative deenition of spreadsheet tabular data treatments. The main contribution of this paper is to show that from textual rule-based speciications, we can g...
