Robert Harper. Adaptive Functional Programming. Indiana University, February, 2002. (PPT slides).
An adaptive computation maintains the relationship between its input and output as the input changes. This allows for efficient recomputation, when input changes. Only the relevant parts of the program have to be executed again.
This presentation explains the motivation and basic approach. Formal semantics and the relation to modal type systems are presented.
