Abstract

This paper examines degradations of service in terms of constructs of the Ada programming language that are effective for their control and deployment. Several studies of the software lifecycle have focused on taxonomies of defects or errors. Categories of service degradations, however, have only recently been identified. A classification scheme for service degradations clarifies their relationship to defects and errors and their role in the prevention of failure. With the growth of hard real-time systems, wireless networks, and multimedia applications, a comprehensive understanding of service degradations and their usage has become ever more important.
