# Continual Computation Policies for Allocating Offline and Real-Time Resources

Eric Horvitz

*Proceedings of the Sixteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 1280-1286.

## Abstract

Research on continual computation centers on developing precomputation policies that can effectively harness available resources to solve future challenges. We focus on integrating a consideration of offiine and real-time resources in continual computation. We review precomputation policies for flexible procedures and present strategies that account for the expected future real-time refinement of a result following precomputation. Finally, we address policies that consider the tradeoff between the efficiency of solving current and potential future challenges.
