Abstract: The paper proposes a framework for building and using an object-oriented engineering design pattern language to enhance the cognitive performance of human designers. A design pattern is a set of recurrent design concepts represented as an object and a design pattern language is a network of objects structured by certain rules. An object-oriented network of both the recurrent and the non-recurrent design concepts can support human thinking. The network is constructed by combining the function analysis system technique (FAST) and TRIZ function modelling methods. The pattern language framework can exploit both object-oriented and object-relational features to complement and support the designer's cognitive abilities.
