Emergent behavior is that which cannot be predicted through analysis at any level simpler than that of the system as a whole. Emergent behavior, by definition, is what is left after everything else has been explained [6]. This is one of the main concerns of the Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles which did not cure important issues faced by software companies these days on developing complex software for reuse and protecting the more and more evolving applications against technological obsolescence. This paper presents: - an approach: it reviews the state-of-the-art of SmartModels approach briefly introducing its principles, basic entities and main elements when defining a business-model. It also addresses the Meta-Object Protocol (MOP) which lays the foundation of SmartModels’ mechanism to fill the gap between the semantics and the reification of a model entity; - a prototype: SmartFactory which is based on Eclipse platform and its role is to validate the new approach.
