The Real-Time Database for Cognitive Automobiles (KogMo-RTDB) is the key component of an integration framework for cognitive systems. It allows the publication of all relevant data within the system at a central place. Every piece of information is packed into an object. Objects are the smallest unit the database handles. The KogMo-RTDB provides a unified interface to insert, update and delete data objects. Published objects can be accessed by all other software modules if they are not intentionally protected. Modules can also search and wait for data. Modules can allow other modules to update the data of their objects. Data within the RTDB is preserved for a defined time span.

The KogMo-RTDB interfaces can be regarded as part of an outer framework for interprocess communication. The actual inner framework used within a cognitive module heavily depends on the engineering discipline it comes from: for the control level, this might be a robotics or control framework, at an artificial intelligence level an interference machine might be the choice.
