ABSTRACT

Delegation is a technique used in object-oriented programming. For instance, it has been used to implement (interface) inheritance in prototype languages. Another view is that it competes with the inheritance as a language feature. Yet another view is that it provides a conceptual tool for the dynamic specialization. With the view of object specialization we expand this concept and discuss what options we have when using this technique with Ada 9X.
