A word to convey "online-ness"

To give some context, in the algorithm design world there are two kinds of algorithms, online ones (which can work with partial amounts of data as it becomes available), and offline ones (which need the whole data to be present before starting).

I'd like to say something along the lines of "online-ness of the algorithm is not an objective at this time", but "online-ness" just hits my ear wrong.

Are there any alternatives?

Note that this is not the same as "available", is more along the lines of "streaming" (but, in the context I'm working on, "streaming" is already established to mean something totally different).


Fellow CS guy here, so I know what you're going for with "online". You need to keep exactly that word so that you're being precise in what you're saying. In cases like that, I just structure the sentence around the word. I'd say something like

"Designing an online algorithm was not an objective of this research/project/assignment."
