What`s the difference between Monte Carlo and discrete event simulation?

Question

Where can I find details and when to use each type?

Answer 1

discrete event: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_event_simulation

Monte Carlo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method

Answer 2

A Monte Carlo simulation includes random parameters. Typically, each time one of these parameters is used in the model a new value is sampled from a statistical distribution. Monte Carlo simulations can be spreadsheet, continuous, discrete event, or agent based simulation models.

Discrete event simulations are dynamic simulations where the clock advances from one event to the next and are ususally (but not always Monte Carlo simulations)
