 Continuous - definition of Continuous in Encyclopedia
In mathematics, a continuous function is one in which arbitrarily small changes in the input produce arbitrarily small changes in the output.
All polynomials are continuous, and so are the exponential functions, logarithms, square root function and trigonometric functions (on their respective domains).
If small changes in the input can produce a broken jump in the changes of the output (or the value of the ouput is not defined), the function is said to be discontinuous (or to have a discontinuity).

 Continuous Integration
Continuous Integration can slash the amount of time spent in integration hell, in fact it can turn hell into a non-event.
We are using the term Continuous Integration, a term used as one of the practices of XP (Extreme Programming).
However you can use continuous integration without using any other parts of XP - indeed we think it's an essential part of any competent software development activity.

 Diabetes Care: Continuous glucose monitoring: roadmap for 21st... @ HighBeam Research
Continuous glucose monitoring can document the time spent in the normal, low, and high ranges, which may be more valuable than a single integrated data point, such as Hb[A.sub.1c] or fructosamine.
Long-term exposure to midrange glycemia may turn out to be better for avoiding complications than exposure to many upward hyperglycemic spikes and downward hypoglycemic spikes; however, the spikes may cancel out each other in terms of altering the long-term markers.
Furthermore, 30% of the values from the GW2B and 42% of the values from the CGMS deviated by >20 mg/dl from the reference value (25).

 Babu, Shivnath; Widom, Jennifer: Continuous Queries over Data Streams
In this paper we focus primarily on the problem of query processing, specifically on how to define and evaluate "continuous queries" over data streams.
The architecture also captures most previous work on continuous queries and data streams, as well as related concepts such as triggers and materialized views.
Finally, we map out research topics in the area of query processing over data streams, showing where previous work is relevant and describing problems yet to be addressed.

 Realizing continuous integration
Continuous integration is a hot topic in the software development world.
Continuous integration also works best with single, mainline development projects -- those that involve development of a single latest code stream, with maintenance streams and a patch stream at the most.
In this article, I will discuss what continuous integration is, where it fits into the software development lifecycle, and how it can be realized with a supporting toolset.

 Continuous Simulation
As such, continuous simulators may be slow and are consequently only useful when simulating a relatively small number of components which are described at a low level of abstraction.
A continuous simulator would apply those equations in the context of the components' environment and connectivity and produce a continuous graph which accurately reflects how the components would react if they were actually hooked up in reality.
As an example of continuous simulation, consider a depletion mode transistor acting as a pull up for a capacitive load [17].
