METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO WORKBOOK MODELS THROUGH REMOTE FUNCTION CALLS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC G06N99/00 G06Q10/00 G06Q40/00 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: according to the system, a client computer executes a spreadsheet program for creating a workbook model. The workbook model can be published on a server computer along with data defining a function name and the cells which must be used as inputs and outputs for the model. The system also includes a server computer which receives and responds to remote function calls directed towards workbook functions. When a function call is received at the server computer for a workbook function, the server computer populates the cells in the workbook identified as inputs with input parameters received with the function call and recalculates the workbook. Data contained in the output cells is then returned as a reply to the remote function call. The method describes operation of the said system.

EFFECT: possibility of presenting workbook models for use without showing implementation of the workbook models.
