ABSTRACT:

I will describe a style of problem solving, prospective reasoning, and
a development environment, MU, for building prospective reasoning
systems.  Prospective reasoning is a form of planning in which
knowledge of the state of the world and the effects of actions is
incomplete.  I will illustrate one implementation of prospective
reasoning in MU with examples from medical diagnosis.
