  In the world of Information Technology, new computing paradigms, driven by
requirements of different classes of problems and applications, emerge rapidly.
These new computing paradigms pose many new research challenges. Researchers
from different disciplines are working together to develop innovative solutions
addressing them. In newer research areas with many unknowns, creating roadmaps,
enabling tools, inspiring technological and application demonstrators offer
confidence and prove feasibility and effectiveness of new paradigm. Drawing on
our experience, we share strategy for advancing the field and community
building in new and emerging computing research areas. We discuss how the
development simulators can be cost-effective in accelerating design of real
systems. We highlight strategic role played by different types of publications,
conferences, and educational programs. We illustrate effectiveness of elements
of our strategy with a case study on progression of cloud computing paradigm.
