Abstract

The structural and computational simplicity of classical product form queueing networks in continuous time (see e.g.: 75, 4, 69, 50) relies on the property that independently moving customers which are independently served with probability one do not jump at the same time instant. From about 1990 on a sequence of papers appeared which considered explicitly networks where servicing is done for customer batches and where customers are forwarded into and through the network in batches. Before that, similar problems were mostly dealt with via simulation or using approximations. Only special mini networks were solved explicitly.
