The behaviour of simulation outcomes of discrete event dynamic systems is in focus. This behaviour is characterized by several kinds of performance measures. A description of a wide class of discrete event dynamic systems is arrived at. Within this context a definition of infinitesimal perturbation analysis is given, which is a technique to quantify the dependence of simulation outcomes on changes in continuously varying parameter inputs.
