"We present techniques for incremental computing by introducing adaptive functional programming. As an adaptive program executes, the underlying system represents the data and control dependences in the execution in the form of a dynamic dependence graph. When the input to the program changes, a change propagation algorithm updates the output and the dynamic dependence graph by propagating changes through the graph and re-executing code where necessary. Adaptive programs adapt their output to any change in the input, small or large."
I find myself thinking this sounds like a reactive programming technique. Am I being obvious (or oblivious :) or is there something to look at here for reactive UIs?
I believe FrTime and possibly Kenny Tilton's Cells use an approach similar to this. This approach is rather different than most of the FRP implementations in Haskell.
