Next time I will give a talk on Large Deviation Principles (LDP)
and its Applications to Queueing Analysis. This is a summerized talk
cooked from several related papers. The major reference paper is:

A large deviation principle with queueing applications

Abstract of the talk:

        Large Deviations is a theory of rare events. One of its
applications is to the analysis of the tails of probability
distributions. I will briefly introduce the main theorem in both the
general LDP and the sample path LDP. Then, I will emphasize on their
applications to some aspects in queueing analysis, especially on
equilibrium queue length distribution.
