Abstract

There has recently been a great deal of interest in product-form networks with negative customers, signals, and assemble-transfer batch movements. In this paper, we give an example to illustrate how these networks can be viewed as networks of quasi-reversible nodes. We also present three outstanding questions in relation to networks of quasi-reversible nodes, which were motivated by looking at specific examples.
