Podsumowanie	Deterministic Cellular Automata (DCA) is a simulation method that models the evolution of complex systems through a regular grid of cells, each holding a discrete state, updated synchronously at each time step according to a fixed, deterministic rule applied to the cell and its neighbors. The outcome is fully reproducible given the same initial conditions and rule set.	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.
