In many kinds of emnputatiomd contexts, modifications of the input data are to be processed at once so as to have immediate effect on the output. Because small changes in the input to a computation often cause only small changes in the outpu~ the challenge is to compute the new output incrementally by updating parts of the old outpu~ rather than by recomputing the entire output from scratch (as a “batch computation”)
