A multiclass queueing system is considered, with heterogeneous service stations, each consisting of many servers with identical capabilities. An optimal control problem is formulated, where the control corresponds to scheduling and routing,…
A queueing model has $J\ge2$ heterogeneous service stations, each consisting of many independent servers with identical capabilities. Customers of $I\ge2$ classes can be served at these stations at different rates, that depend on both the…
We consider a multi-class queueing model of a telephone call center, in which a system manager dynamically allocates available servers to customer calls. Calls can terminate through either service completion or customer abandonment, and the…
We study a dynamic scheduling problem for a multi-class queueing network with a large pool of statistically identical servers. The arrival processes are Poisson, and service times and patience times are assumed to be exponentially…
We consider the problem of minimizing queue-length costs in a system with heterogenous parallel servers, operating in a many-server heavy-traffic regime with nondegenerate slowdown. This regime is distinct from the well-studied heavy…
A system manager makes dynamic pricing and dispatch control decisions in a queueing network model motivated by ride-hailing applications. A novel feature of the model is that it incorporates travel times. Unfortunately, this renders the…
In this thesis, we study the queueing systems with heterogeneous servers and service rate uncertainty under the Halfin-Whitt heavy traffic regime. First, we analyse many server queues with abandonments when service rates are i.i.d. random…
We study the infinite horizon optimal control problem for N-network queueing systems, which consist of two customer classes and two server pools, under average (ergodic) criteria in the Halfin-Whitt regime. We consider three control…
We address a single server queue control problem (QCP) in heavy traffic originating from Lee and Weerasinghe (2011). The state process represents the offered waiting time, the customer arrival has a state-dependent intensity, and the…
A key operational challenge for call centers is to decide, in real time, which waiting customer should be served by which available agent. This is known as skill-based routing, and the decision becomes especially difficult in large systems…
We propose a model uncertainty approach to heavy traffic asymptotics that allows for a high level of uncertainty. That is, the uncertainty classes of underlying distributions accommodate disturbances that are of order 1 at the usual…
We study multiclass many-server queues for which the arrival, service and abandonment rates are all modulated by a common finite-state Markov process. We assume that the system operates in the "averaged" Halfin-Whitt regime, which means…
A multi-class single-server queueing model with finite buffers, in which scheduling and admission of customers are subject to control, is studied in the moderate deviation heavy traffic regime. A risk-sensitive cost set over a finite time…
In this paper, we study optimal control problems for multiclass GI/M/n+M queues in an alternating renewal (up-down) random environment in the Halfin-Whitt regime. Assuming that the downtimes are asymptotically negligible and only the…

We study a double-ended queue which consists of two classes of customers. Whenever there is a pair of customers from both classes, they are matched and leave the system immediately. The matching follows first-come-first-serve principle. If…
We introduce the {\Delta}(i)/GI/1 queue, a new queueing model. In this model, customers from a given population independently sample a time to arrive from some given distribution F. Thus, the arrival times are an ordered statistics, and the…
We consider Markovian multiclass multi-pool networks with heterogeneous server pools, each consisting of many statistically identical parallel servers, where the bipartite graph of customer classes and server pools forms a tree. Customers…
We characterize heavy-traffic process and steady-state limits for systems staffed according to the square-root safety rule, when the service requirements of the customers are perfectly correlated with their individual patience for waiting…
In this paper, we study the $G/\mathit{GI}/N$ queue in the Halfin--Whitt regime. Our first result is to obtain a deterministic fluid limit for the properly centered and scaled number of customers in the system which may be used to provide a…
