Abstract: A method and system for managing data and organizational constraints is provided. Data is collected and stored as records in a database and multi-dimensional matrices known as parameters are associated with each of the sets of records. The parameters are then processed using various formulae and functions and the results of the processing are kept separate from the parameters themselves allowing for a flexible and fast response to any change in any of the parameters. The dimensions of each parameter are defined to include zero or more properties configured to access the multi-dimensional matrices and each parameter is defined in relation to each of the dimensions of the parameter. The set of dependencies among the parameters form part of a large constraint propagation network so that any change to a value of one of the parameters will be propagated throughout the network.
