Abstract

In this paper we propose a framework for the materialisation of method results in object-oriented views. When the result of a given method is materialised, then it has to be kept up to date after objects used to compute the value of this method were updated. To this end we use additional data structures representing links between materialised methods and objects used to compute these methods. When such an object is updated, the system examines an appropriate data structure in order to find out which materialised methods have to be recomputed. When a given method m is materialised, it may be reasonable to materialise also the intermediate results of methods called from m. We call this technique hierarchical materialisation. When an object used to materialise the result of m is updated, then m has to be recomputed. This recomputation can use unaffected intermediate materialised results, thus reducing the recomputation time.
