ABSTRACT
Self-adjusting computation offers a language-centric approach to writing programs that can automatically
respond to modifications to their data (e.g., inputs). Except for several domain-specific implementations,
however, all previous implementations of self-adjusting computation assume mostly functional, higher-order
languages such as Standard ML. It is not known if self-adjusting computation can be made to work with
low-level, imperative languages such as C without placing undue burden on the programmer.
