Abstract
Deferred formula computation executes software containing a set of programmed formulas, wherein the set includes a first programmed formula defined in an associated dependency graph to be dependent on a result of a second programmed formula. A method may encounter a reference to the first programmed formula during execution of the software, wherein the reference is associated with deferred formula computation request program code in the executing software to obtain a result of the first programmed formula; identify during execution of the software the second programmed formula based on traversal within the associated dependency graph of the first programmed formula; compute a result of the second programmed formula during execution of the software; compute the result of the first programmed formula during execution of the software, and return the computed result of the first programmed formula in association with the reference to the first programmed formula.
