Discrete-Event System Simulation
Discrete-event system simulation (DES) is a computational modelling technique in which the state of a system changes only at discrete points in time — called events — such as a customer arriving, a machine starting, or a job completing. Formalised through foundational texts by Kelton, Sadowski, and Zupick (2014) and Law (2015), DES represents processes as networks of resources, queues, and activities, allowing analysts to test capacity and policy changes on a virtual model before touching the real system.
