Online Algorithms: The State of the Art (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Springer, 1998

When Hannibal crossed the Alps into Italy, it was no longer as simple to respond to a Roman naval threat in Spain as it was before crossing the Alps. Had Hannibal known the entire future Roman strategy before crossing the Alps then (assuming appropriate computational ability) he could have computed an optimal strategy to deal with the Rome/Cartago...
