Cognitive Vision Systems entail capabilities ranging from low-level to high-level vision,
reasoning from signal to symbolic level and the resources to move cameras, robot or other
forms of embodiment. While systems for single tasks can be specifically built from these
blocks, a cognitive system should be able to handle many tasks and cope with different
environments. Hence, it is thought essential to build cognitive systems to study the interaction
of a larger set of capabilities into one system. In this work we propose a tool
to do this: a software framework provides the communication means to freely combine
the capabilities. The tool is referred to as zwork, establishes new links fast and is easy to
use with a 2D and 3D GUI. The capabilities are wrapped in components adhering to the
component-based programming paradigm successfully applied in software engineering.
The successful application of this framework within the EU project ActIPret is shown.
