System and method for managing models and model dependencies within a computerized simulation environment

A tangible computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, if executed by a computer, cause said computer to perform a method comprising:

• acquiring, by said computer, performance data relating to said plurality of simulation models within a timeframe parameter and a presentation parameter, wherein said performance data includes dependency data and a simulation model score, wherein said plurality of simulation models simulate at least one of outcomes, effectiveness, penetration, utilization, or distribution of marketing strategies based upon at least one of historic, current or probability data of said marketing strategies;
• analyzing, by said computer, said dependency data relating to a simulation model, having a model identifier;
• determining, by said computer, individual variables within a first subset of said plurality of simulation models impacted by said dependency data, wherein said dependency data includes bidirectional pointers in a tree of said plurality of simulation models, said plurality of simulation models represented by nodes on said tree, and said dependency data provides interdependencies among said plurality of simulation models, wherein said variables are across said plurality of simulation models, wherein said dependency data depends upon and includes records having an identifier that is based upon said model identifier and that depend at least one of directly or indirectly from said simulation model, and wherein said dependency data relates to a transfer of information exchanged between said simulation model and at least one of said first subset of said plurality of simulation models or a second subset of said plurality of simulation models, wherein said information includes accuracy of said information, an amount of said information, a transfer rate of said information, and a processing rate of said information;
• analyzing, by said computer, said dependency data relating to said first subset of said plurality of simulation models;
• determining, by said computer, individual of said variables within said second subset of said plurality of simulation models impacted by said dependency data, wherein said second subset of said plurality of simulation models is dependent upon said first subset of said plurality of simulation models;
• determining, by said computer, an impact on said first subset of said plurality of simulation models, and said second subset of said plurality of simulation models in response to said analysis of said dependency data;
• modifying, by said computer, said simulation model score based on said dependency data to create a modified simulation model score;
• and
• at least one of:
• modifying said simulation model or decommissioning said simulation model based on said modified simulation model score.
