Homage papers
Aardvark recently announced the acceptance of a paper describing their system at WWW: “The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Social Search Engine”. This is a clear (and somewhat brash) shout-out to the original Google paper, “The Anatomy of a Large-scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine”.
This got me thinking — are there other notable examples of an academic paper paying homage to another well known publication? Google’s IEEE Intelligent Systems paper “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Data” and Eugene Wigner’s 1960 essay “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences” also comes to mind.
Other examples?
From @ssn — ”* considered harmful” and the original Djikstra CACM 1968 paper: “Go To Statement Considered Harmful”
