    % OpenSignal Signal class for open queueing networks
    %
    % OpenSignal is a specialized OpenClass for modeling signals in open
    % queueing networks. Unlike regular customers, signals can have special
    % effects on queues they visit, such as removing jobs (negative signals)
    % or unblocking servers (reply signals).
    %
    % For closed networks, use ClosedSignal instead.
    %
    % Signal types:
    % - SignalType.NEGATIVE: Removes a job from the destination queue
    % - SignalType.REPLY: Unblocks servers waiting for a reply
    %
    % Example:
    % @code
    % model = Network('OpenModel');
    % source = Source(model, 'Source');
    % sink = Sink(model, 'Sink');
    % queue = Queue(model, 'Queue', SchedStrategy.FCFS);
    % reqClass = OpenClass(model, 'Request');
    % replySignal = OpenSignal(model, 'Reply', SignalType.REPLY).forJobClass(reqClass);
    % @endcode
