Resumé	Stochastic Cellular Automata (SCA) extend classical cellular automata by replacing deterministic transition rules with probabilistic ones, allowing each cell on a grid to change state according to a probability distribution conditioned on its neighborhood. This makes SCA a powerful tool for simulating real-world spatial processes where randomness, noise, and uncertainty govern local interactions — from epidemic spread and forest fires to traffic flow and material diffusion.	Discrete-Event Simulation (DES) is a computational modeling paradigm in which the state of a system changes only at a countable sequence of points in time — the events. Between events nothing changes, so the simulation clock jumps directly from one event to the next. Formalized through the foundational textbooks of Banks, Carson, Nelson and Nicol and of Law in the 1960s–2000s, DES has become the standard tool for analyzing queuing systems, healthcare patient flows, manufacturing lines, and logistics networks where entities move through resources over time.
