The MGS (Modelling of General Systems) is a domain-specific language used for specification and simulation of dynamical systems with dynamical structure, developed in the LaMI (laboratory for Computer Methods) at the university of Evry. It is particulary aimed at modelling biological systems.

Its computational model is a generalisation of cellular automata, Lindenmayer systems, Paun systems and other chemical/biological inspired computational formalisms. It manipulates collections - sets of positions, filled with some values, in a lattice with user-defined topology.
