Σύνοψη	Simheuristics is a hybrid algorithmic framework that integrates Monte Carlo or discrete-event simulation into metaheuristic search procedures to solve stochastic combinatorial optimization problems. Introduced by Juan et al. in 2015, it addresses settings where objective function evaluations involve random variables, providing near-optimal solutions with probabilistic quality guarantees. The approach is especially suited for real-world logistics, transportation, and scheduling problems where uncertainty is inherent and classical deterministic solvers fail to capture variability.	Matheuristics is a class of hybrid optimization methods that tightly couple exact mathematical programming components—such as mixed-integer programming (MIP) solvers—with metaheuristic search procedures. Formally introduced and named by Maniezzo, Stützle, and Voß in 2009, the framework leverages the global-search capability of metaheuristics and the structural exploitation of mathematical programming to tackle large-scale combinatorial optimization problems that neither approach can solve effectively alone.	Stochastic optimization is a family of iterative methods that minimize an objective function by computing gradients on randomly sampled subsets of data — mini-batches — rather than on the entire dataset at once. Pioneered by Robbins and Monro in 1951 as stochastic approximation, the approach became the standard engine for training large-scale machine-learning models through variants such as SGD with momentum, AdaGrad, RMSProp, and Adam.
