Abstract

The World Wide Web (WWW or the Web) is the fastest growing service of the Internet. The paper covers a portion of the corresponding conference talk. The talk provides an overview of the Internet, the World Wide Web, and the College on Simulation of INFORMS Home Page. The talk is either online or the simulation of an online session (surfing) of the Web. It hopefully provides the background and the incentive to turn the audience into WWW enthusiasts. No knowledge of the Internet or the WWW is assumed.
