Abstract
Commentary to the article by Bhargava and Krishnan (H. K. Bhargava and R. Krishnan. The World Wide Web: Opportunities for Operations Research and Management Science. INFORMS Journal of Computing, Vol. 10, No. 4, 359–383, 1988). The Web may prove to be the most important marriage of communications and computation yet devised by man. The average Web-user is likely to be most conscious of the communications aspect. The point is in emphasizing the aspect of the advantages to be gained by distributed implementation of OR/MS applications: It empowers dispersed practitioners and enables embedded applications.
