  ABSTRACT={The development of reasoning systems that can reason and plan in a continuously
     changing environment is emerging as an important area of research in Artificial
     Intelligence. This paper describes some of the features of a Procedural Reasoning
     System (PRS) that enables it to operate effectively in such environments. The
     basic system design is first described and it is shown how this architecture
     supports both goal-directed reasoning and the ability to react rapidly to unanticipated
     changes in the environment. The decision-making capabilities of the system
     are then discussed and it is indicated how the system integrates these components
     in a manner that takes account of the bounds on both resources and knowledge
     that typify most real-time operations. The system has been applied to handling
     malfunctions on the space shuttle, threat assessment, and the control of an
     autonomous robot.}
