Abstract

A major contribution to global warming has been the number of new workshops publishing proceedings with the prefix hot. In this article, I propose that we counter this trend in an attempt to remain carbon neutral with a set of 'anti-workshops' on cold topics.

We suggest a number of heuristics for detecting when a topic has gone cold, and give some examples of the application of these heuristics. Of course, some cold topics warm up again, and so there is a risk of over dampening in our heuristic. Over a long period, dynamic equilibrium should be assured, but from time to time, our scheme may prejudice against surprising results in boring areas of communications research. Nevertheless, it may leave room for more surprising results in interesting areas of research, which cannot be a bad thing

Reheating cold topics (in networking)

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 ...
A novel solution for achieving anonymity in wireless ad hoc networks
PE-WASUN '04: Proceedings of the 1st ACM international workshop on Performance evaluation of wireless ad hoc, sensor, and ubiquitous networks

A mobile ad hoc network consists of mobile nodes that can move freely in an open environment. Communicating nodes in a wireless and mobile ad hoc network usually seek the help of other intermediate nodes to establish communication channels. In such an ...
Enhancing DSR protocol performance in mobile ad hoc network using ACK reply

This paper presents a new method to improve performance of DSR in Ad Hoc Network. We present an analysis of DSR protocol and propose our algorithm to improve the performance of DSR protocol by using ACK reply path as a backup route when an original ...
