This paper describes preliminary results from using an AI robot control software architecture, known as 3T, as the software framework for a procedure track-ing system for the space shuttle Remote Manipula-tor System (RMS). The system, called STPT, is de-signed to track the expected steps of the crew as they carry out RMS operations, detecting malfunctions in the RMS system from failures or improper configu-rations as well as improper or incomplete procedures by the crew. Scheduled for a ground demonstration in February 1997, and a test flight the following fall, STPT, was employed this past fall to track the RMS checkout procedures on a space shuttle mission. It successfully carried out its task because the reactive nature of the architecture allowed it to stay synchro-nized with the procedures even in the face of intermit-tent loss of telemetry and unexpected crew actions.

In this paper, we present the Adora approac to object-oriented modeling of software (Adora stands for analysis and description of requirements and arc itecture). T e main features of Adora t at distinguis it from ot er approac es like UML are t e use of abstract objects (instead of classes) as t e
