Evolution of model-driven spreadsheets

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Spreadsheets are the most used programming environment, mostly because they are very flexible. This is due to the lack of restrictions imposed on them which can lead to lots of errors. A first approach to Model-Driven Engineering was already suggested to improve spreadsheets, providing them with specifications and checking tools. However, users have to learn how to use these tools on top of their existing spreadsheet host system. To remove that difficulty, the work for this thesis describes an embedding of spreadsheet models within spreadsheet themselves. This embedding enables users to create models in the same environment that they use for spreadsheet development and that they are familiar with. Moreover, a set of operations that can be performed on these models and respective instances is defined. This way, users interact with models and spreadsheets in the same environment with the objective to improve work performance and reduce errors. Resulting from this work, a prototype was created and is also discussed in this dissertation. This prototype can be used to validate the approach taken in this thesis and to provide a base framework for future developments.
