  ABSTRACT={I argue that, contrary to the challenges raised in the work of Brooks
     and others, intelligent agents are essentially planning agents. I claim that
     philosophical and commonsense psychological theorizing about the process of
     planning can provide useful insights into the question of agent design. The
     theories I discuss are not restricted to how agents can form plans, but also
     concern the ways in which agents use their plans. Specifically, I describe
     the use of plans to guide action as well as to control reasoning and to enable
     inter-agent coordination. These uses of plans make possible intelligent behavior
     in complex, dynamic, multiagent environments. This paper is a slightly revised
     transcription of a lecture presented upon receipt of the Computers and Thought
     Award at the 12th International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
     in Sydney, Australia, on August 26, 1991.}
