Resumo	Little's Law is a fundamental theorem in queueing theory that relates the long-run average number of items in a stable system (L) to the long-run average arrival rate (λ) and the long-run average time an item spends in the system (W), expressed as L = λW. Introduced and rigorously proved by John D. C. Little in 1961, the law holds for virtually any stable stochastic system, requiring no assumptions about arrival distributions, service distributions, or queue disciplines.	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.	The M/M/c queue is a multi-server stochastic model in which customers arrive according to a Poisson process at rate λ, are served by c identical servers each with exponentially distributed service times at rate μ, and wait in a single common queue when all servers are busy. Systematized within classical queueing theory and thoroughly treated by Gross and Harris (1998), it extends the simpler M/M/1 model to settings with parallel servers, making it the foundational tool for capacity planning in service systems.
