The informal motto for ICS is "INFORMS' Leading Edge for Computation and Technology". Hence it is the responsibility of ICS to report back from the leading edge: what is new and interesting? what is finding novel and unexpected applications? what new techniques are revitalizing old fields? The Leading Edge Tutorials series is our vehicle for bringing this news to INFORMS in an accessible manner. We plan to offer tutorials on topics of current interest at the major INFORMS conferences on an ongoing basis. The Leading Edge Tutorials organizer is Perl in an Hour
