Describes a work carried out in the frame of the European Prometheus project, and concerns the realization of an electronic copilot using a knowledge-based system approach. A flexible software architecture is required to allow problem solving in dynamic real-time situations, including rapidly changing data, asynchronous data management, interrupt handling and temporal reasoning. This paper describes such an architecture based an a knowledge-based development system (SUPER) and a real-time multi-tasking kernel (VXWORKS)
