Abstract

Competition for the 2018 Daniel H. Wagner Prize for Excellence in the Practice of Advanced Analytics and Operations Research provided the six finalist papers featured in this special issue of the INFORMS Journal on Applied Analytics ( IJAA ). The prestigious Wagner Prize—awarded for achievement in implemented operations research, management science, and advanced analytics—emphasizes quality and originality of mathematical models and clarity of written and oral exposition. If you have ever rented a bike from Motivate, the largest provider of bike-sharing systems in the United States, you have benefited from the analytical work done by the winning team from Cornell University, which improves the allocation of docks to stations and created the Bike Angels program, an incentive scheme to crowdsource rebalancing, thus improving bike availability in San Francisco and New York City. The remaining papers describe work on developing a first-of-a-kind market design for the reallocation of fishing shares in South Wales, using primal-dual algorithms for omni-channel retail fulfillment, improving the seat-allocation process for admissions to engineering colleges in India, using structured and unstructured data in predictive modeling for repairing malfunctioning appliances, and rescuing missing tourists in nature reserves in China.
