1. A method for modeling and emulating a plurality of telecommunication devices of a network of telecommunication systems, wherein said telecommunication devices have device types, said method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) compiling statements specifying rules and behaviors of said device types into device type model databases and storing said device type model databases using a computer, each of said device type model databases comprising a plurality of meta data structures, each of said meta data structures comprising one or more data elements of one or more of said device types, one or more predicates, and at least one navigation sequence governing retrieval of and physically locating said data elements, said navigation sequences facilitating said governing in conjunction with said predicates; and

    (b) interpreting user actions and device responses by retrieving appropriate ones of said data elements for said telecommunication devices using a computer, and traversing appropriate ones of said navigation sequences, each navigation sequence being traversed in a predetermined manner.
