Σύνοψη	Stochastic Queueing Simulation models waiting-line systems where arrival and service processes follow probability distributions rather than fixed rates. By simulating thousands of random events, it estimates performance measures — mean waiting time, queue length, server utilization — under realistic uncertainty, making it the standard tool for designing and evaluating service systems from hospitals to call centers.	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.
