Structured Spreadsheet Modeling and Implementation

Developing an error-free spreadsheet has been a problem since the beginning of end-user computing. In this paper, we present a methodology that separates the modeling from the implementation. Using proven techniques from Information Systems and Software Engineering, we present strict, but simple, rules governing the implementation from the model. The resulting spreadsheet should be easier to understand, audit and maintain.Comment: In Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Software Engineering Methods in Spreadsheet
