In the field of simulation a discrete-event simulation (DES) models the operation of a system as a discrete sequence of events in time. Each event occurs at a particular instant in time and marks a change of state in the system. Between consecutive events no change in the system is assumed to occur; thus the simulation can directly jump in time from one event to the next.This contrasts with continuous simulation in which the simulation continuously tracks the system dynamics over time.
