Reheating cold topics (in networking)
Jon Crowcroft · ACM SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review · 2009
It has been proposed that research in certain areas is to be avoided when those areas have gone cold. While previous work concentrated on detecting the temperature of a research topic, this work addresses the question of changing the temperature of said topics. We make suggestions for a set of techniques to re-heat a topic that has gone cold. In contrast to other researchers who propose uncertain approaches involving creativity, @lateral thinking and imagination, we concern ourselves with deterministic approaches that are guaranteed to yield results1.
