Abstract: Spreadsheets can play an important role in the MS/OR practitioner's toolkit. This is because they are an effective software development platform, supporting powerful commercial MS/OR add-ins and providing advantages in deploying models to clients. Spreadsheets also provide access to the power of MS/OR for large numbers of unsophisticated end-user modelers. In this special issue, we highlight the benefits of spreadsheet MS/OR across 10 different high-impact applications.
