| ** Attention Members: If you typically access your member magazine online through this page, you will notice beginning with the October 2010 issue that the featured articles (Special Features) and INFORMS News are now members only and require a member login. This change was made to ensure that OR/MS Today remains what it was intended to be – a benefit of INFORMS membership. Please note that the balance of the magazine – each issue’s Cover Story, Departments, Classified ads, and Software surveys – remain open access to all who wish to read them. For comments or concerns, please write to Gary Bennett at gary.bennett@informs.org. |
