Summary: MGS is an experimental programming language for the modeling and the simulation of discrete dynamical systems. The modeling approach is based on the explicit specification of the interaction structure between the system parts. This interaction structure is adequately described by topological notions. The topological approach enables a unified view on several computational mechanisms initially inspired by biological or chemical processes (Gamma and cellular automata). The expressivity of the language is illustrated by the modeling of a diffusion limited aggregation process on a wide variety of spatial domain: from Cayley graphs to arbitrary quasi-manifolds.
