In the core semantics of Ada 95, the choice of alternatives
is non-deterministic (which is totally different from random,
if you do not know the difference, put it down on the list
of useful things to learn, it is too much of a diversion to
this thread to discuss this difference here).

In the real-time annex semantics, provision is made for
removing ALL such non-determinism from the scheduling. So
the above reply by Dale is a little misleading
