Abstract
A system and method for efficiently evaluating and executing unresolved data variables used as input for functional processes in a previously defined acyclic dataflow graph (or sequence of instructions which may be so represented). Embodiments of the present invention also contemplate maintaining previously computed values of data elements so that re-evaluation of the entire data flow graph or portions thereof may not be necessary.
