== Goals ==
The goal of anytime algorithms are to give [[Hybrid intelligent system|intelligent systems]] the ability to make results of better quality in return for turn-around time.<ref name="Zilberstein">{{harvnb|Zilberstein|1996}} </ref> They are also supposed to be flexible in time and resources.<ref name="Grass">{{cite journal |first=J. |last=Grass |title=Reasoning about computational resource allocation. XRDS: Crossroads |journal=The ACM Magazine for Students |volume=3 |issue=1 |pages=16–20 |date=1996 |doi=10.1145/332148.332154 |s2cid=45448244 |url=https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/332148.332154|doi-access=free }}</ref> They are important because [[artificial intelligence]] or AI algorithms can take a long time to complete results. This algorithm is designed to complete in a shorter amount of time.<ref name="Grass"/> Also, these are intended to have a better understanding that the system is dependent and restricted to its agents and how they work cooperatively.<ref name="Grass"/> An example is the [[Newton–Raphson]] iteration applied to finding the square root of a number.<ref name="FOLDOC">[http://foldoc.org/anytime+algorithm anytime algorithm from Free Online Dictionary of Computing (FOLDOC)]</ref> Another example that uses anytime algorithms is trajectory problems when you're aiming for a target; the object is moving through space while waiting for the algorithm to finish and even an approximate answer can significantly improve its accuracy if given early.<ref name="Grass"/>
