Samenvatting	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.	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.
