Abstract: A method and associated system are provided for performing calculations in a distributed networked environment, comprising: updating a source element on a first computer; sending a calculate update signal to a target calculated element for updating on a target element computer that may be the first computer or a second computer connected to the first computer that uses the source element in a calculation; obtaining the updated source element by a process on the target element computer associated with the target calculated element in response to the sending; and performing a calculation to update the target calculated element using the obtained updated source element.

Abstract: A method for sharing changes to an electronic document is described. A share request is received, at a first computing device, that indicates a change to a shared element of the electronic document that is directly changed by a user. A first update set of elements that should be updated based on the change is determined by the first computing device, the first update set including the shared element and one or more elements not directly changed by the user. For each element of the first update set, the first computing device selects between a second update set and a third update set based on a respective dependency relationship with the shared element. Elements of the first update set are associated with the corresponding selected update set. A synchronous update for the second update set and an asynchronous update for the third update set are performed.
