Abstract

This paper presents a concept of meta-design catalogs for cognitive products. Mechatronic and cognitive products usually demand multidisciplinary hardware and software solutions and while catalogs exist to support domain specific-design, to date there is no support for finding non-obvious and alternative solutions for cognitive products. The meta-design catalogs for cognitive functions proposed in this paper provide a link between abstract functions and hardware/software making it possible to find non-obvious and alternative solutions. They also make re-use of existing solutions possible by abstracting from the specific to an abstract pattern.
