Abstract :
An extension to N-version programming is proposed, where a problem is viewed as a set of objects which can be hierarchically organized into several levels. N-version programming is then applied to objects at different levels. The concept of recovery metaprogram (RMP) is used to provide the needed support and the Ada language is used to make this scheme more concrete
