Abstract

In these papers we study networks of queues with general routing- and service-characteristics.

It is extensively analysed which models do satisfy a partial balance property, called the job-local-balance property. The key to our analysis is the adjoint process. Roughly speaking, the original process satisfies the job-local-balance property if and only if the adjoint process is reversible.
