This paper presents an overoiew of COSA, a Cognitive System Architecture, which is a generic framework for a unified architecture for cognitive systems. - Conventional automation and similar systems lack the ability of cooperation and cognition, thus leading to serious deficiencies when acting in complex environment especially in the context of human-computer-interaction. This paper describes the Cognitive Process as the theoretical background to overcome these deficiencies. The Cognitive Process can be considered as a model of the human information processing loop whose behavior is solely driven by "a-priori knowledge". It is implemented on top of a symbolic AI subsystem to form the core component of COSA yielding a cooperative system with transparent behavior. The CORBA based basic layer of COSA leads to a distributed system. The "language front end" enables a variety of knowledge formats suitable for any designers preferences to model the systems "a-priori knowledge". Tire design and implementation with its actual state is described along with the experiences resulting from the first application based on COSA.
