SmartFactor Design: Introduction

SmartFactor was first designed in 2003, at the same time as the initial design of SmartEiffel 2.0.

Even though SmartFactor greatly relies on SmartEiffel, its design is utterly different. It uses the most recent object design methods, such as design patterns, plugins and so on.

Note: I used Dia to make the diagrams, that's why they use the UML formalism, with Eiffel-specific conventions.
