Spreadsheet Development Methodologies using Resolver: Moving spreadsheets into the 21st Century

Software Engineering 2008-03-10 v1 Human-Computer Interaction

Abstract

We intend to demonstrate the innate problems with existing spreadsheet products and to show how to tackle these issues using a new type of spreadsheet program called Resolver. It addresses the issues head-on and thereby moves the 1980's "VisiCalc paradigm" on to match the advances in computer languages and user requirements. Continuous display of the spreadsheet grid and the equivalent computer program, together with the ability to interact and add code through either interface, provides a number of new methodologies for spreadsheet development.
