Σύνοψη	Deterministic Discrete-Event Simulation (Deterministic DES) models a system as a sequence of events occurring at precise, pre-specified times using fixed input parameters. Unlike stochastic DES, no probability distributions are sampled; every arrival, service time, and resource availability is known in advance, making runs fully reproducible and producing a single definitive output trajectory.	A Deterministic Markov Model is a cohort-level state-transition model in which all transition probabilities, state utilities, and costs are assigned single fixed values and the model is solved analytically in a single pass. Widely used in health technology assessment, policy analysis, and operations research, it traces a hypothetical cohort through mutually exclusive health or system states over discrete time cycles, accumulating expected outcomes such as quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) or costs.
