Σύνοψη	Queueing Simulation combines classical queueing theory with discrete-event simulation to model systems where entities arrive, wait for service, and depart. It predicts performance metrics such as average waiting time, queue length, and server utilization, enabling capacity planning and bottleneck identification across service, manufacturing, healthcare, and network systems.	Agent-based modeling (ABM) is a computational simulation method, formalized through the work of Thomas Schelling and Robert Axelrod in the 1970s–1990s, that simulates the behavior of complex systems by specifying and running autonomous agents — individuals, firms, cells, or any bounded entity — whose local interactions with each other and with their environment collectively produce global, system-level patterns that could not be predicted from any single agent's rules alone.
