A continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) is a continuous stochastic process in which, for each state, the process will change state according to an exponential...

process for which the index variable takes a continuous set of values, as contrasted with a discrete-time process for which the index variable takes only...

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...
