Abstract/Contents

Abstract
This dissertation is divided into two parts, the first of which revolves around rates of convergence to equilibrium for single-server queues (consisting of Chapters 2 and 3) and the second of which revolves around asymptotic variability and large deviations for departure processes in single-server queues (consisting of Chapters 4 and 5). Throughout the thesis, significant emphasis is placed on the Brownian modeling of queues, using reflected Brownian motion (RBM) both as a direct modeling tool as well as vehicle through which to obtain insights into pre-limit queueing behavior.
