Integration between CER and the Dependency Manager

CER integrates with the Dependency Manager in a number of important ways:

• CER can identify dependencies for the clients of the Dependency Manager to store;
• CER uses the Dependency Manager to store dependencies for any calculated attribute values stored on CER's database tables; and
• the Dependency Manager requests CER to recalculate any calculated attributes values stored on CER's database tables if any of their precedents change.

These integration points between CER and the Dependency Manager are explained in more detail in the following sections.
