1. A system for abstract meta-model simulation creation and execution, comprising:
a computing device comprising a memory, a processor, a non-volatile data storage device, and a display device;
a domain-specific simulation model based on domain-specific language stored in the non-volatile data storage device, the domain-specific simulation model comprising actors, objects, and events, and a plurality of behaviors of the actors, the objects, and the events within a specific application domain;
a probabilistic behavior interpreter comprising first plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the first plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the computing device to:
retrieve the domain-specific simulation model from the non-volatile data storage device;
calculate probabilistic behavior results based on the behaviors of the actors, objects, and events of the domain-specific simulation model, wherein the probabilistic behavior results include environment interactions, specific behaviors and outcomes of the specific behaviors;
store the probabilistic behavior results as a behavior tree model in the non-volatile data storage device;
a visual simulation model editor comprising second plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the second plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the computing device to:
retrieve a meta-model specification for the meta-model simulation;
graphically represent meta-model specification on the display device;
receive a modification of the graphical representation of the meta-model specification using a graphical user interface; and
store the modified meta-model specification in the non-volatile data storage device;
wherein the meta-model specification is based at least on from the domain-specific simulation model and the behavior tree model and comprises a plurality of relationships between the domain-specific simulation model and a plurality of additional models outside the domain; and
wherein the domain-specific simulation model may itself be used as an object in the meta-model specification with or within other domain-specific simulations;
a meta-model simulation execution environment comprising a third plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the third plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the computing device to:
retrieve the modified meta-model specification from the non-volatile data storage device; and
execute the meta-model simulation based on the modified meta-model specification; and
an internal heuristic comprising a fourth plurality of programming instructions stored in the memory and operating on the processor, wherein the fourth plurality of programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the computing device to:
receive data from the meta-model simulation when the meta-model simulation is being executed;
receive an input from a user when the user is connected to the meta-model simulation being executed as an active actor; and
alter the simulation environment of the meta-model simulation being executed in response to the data from the meta-model simulation and the input from the user by parameterizing specific discrete objects, events, and actors in the received data of the meta-model simulation being executed.
