Samenvatting	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.	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.
