Abstract

A computer software system is provided. The computer software system includes a compiler operable to receive a worksheet definition and to access a plurality of model interface functions. The worksheet definition is named and parameterized and comprises a plurality of cell definitions each defining a model-independent expression. The compiler is further operable to generate a worksheet template comprising a plurality of cell templates each defining a model-dependent expression. An evaluator is operable to receive the worksheet template. The evaluator is further operable to access the plurality of model interface functions and a user model. The evaluator is operable to evaluate the model-dependent expressions in the worksheet template and is operable to generate a worksheet instance containing a plurality of cell instances defining model-specific values (54).
