Abstract: Systems and methods for precomputing data and storing cache objects corresponding to the precomputed data are described. A system creates a new cache object when a user interacts with the system. The system precomputes formulas in the newly created cache object by replacing the formulas with corresponding calculated values. The system precomputes the formulas in the background (i.e., the user is not presented with the precomputed values while the user is manipulating the data). The system may persistently store a precomputed version cache object in a dedicated version cache storage for later use. If updates are performed to the structure and/or values of a version represented in a precomputed version cache object, effected parts of the version cache object are invalidated by replacing calculated values with the underlying formulas.

Abstract: A system for visual modification of data. The system comprising, an interface layer for displaying data and for receiving one or more visual inputs for modifying data; a data layer for storing data; and an analysis engine layer for connecting the interface layer and the data layer, wherein the analysis engine layer is configured to receive the one or more visual inputs from the graphical interface for modifying the graphical representation; modify the underlying data based on the visual inputs; modify a derived data based on the modified underlying data; and transfer the modified derived data to the interface layer for display.

Abstract: Multidimensional databases are well-suited for viewing data at different levels of detail. Graph databases are well-suited for modeling data sets with complex relationships. A novel platform for analysis and planning is enabled by linking multidimensional and graph databases. Graphs are data structures stored in graph databases. Graphs use nodes and edges to model data elements, some of which are derived. A graph is traversed to derive new data elements. To perform analysis on the graph data elements, graph traversal paths are stored as tuples in a fact table. This fact table is in turn loaded into the multidimensional database by mapping the fact table's attribute columns to dimensions of the multidimensional database.
