 and Bossa can be instructed to randomly mix a given rate of calibration jobs into the job stream.
 
+== Replication policy ==
+
+An application's '''replication policy''' decides when additional instances
+of jobs are needed.
+Examples:
+ * Get at least N finished instances of each job.
+ * Based on the responses and skill levels of the volunteers who have completed instances, decide whether the error probability is below a given threshold.
+
+An application's replication policy is embodied in its '''job_finished()''',
+a callback function that is called when an instance is finished.
+Using the Bossa API, this function can get the set of other instances
+and their associated users,
+and can decide whether new instances are needed,
+and if so, the priority.
