 GLIDER is a language for simulation of continuous or discrete systems. 
The simulated system is conceptualized as a collection of subsystems that interchange information in different ways. The subsystems may store, transform, transmit, create and delete information. 
GLIDER offers the following features to represent systems and information processes :
  • The system is represented as a network, where each node represents one subsystem. 
  • The nodes may belong to different classes according to their characteristics.
  • The transformation of Information is described and performed by means of a method (programming code) asociated to each node.
  • Information interchange among nodes is accomplished by the method acting upon shared variables, with use of files and by message interchange among  nodes.
  • Information is stored in variables, files or lists of received messages in nodes.
