Abstract:Interdisciplinary research is one of the most important features of contemporary scientific research, can not only “graft” many related subjects but also generate new theories and disciplines in the edge of interdisciplinary subjects. However, interdisciplinary research in Communication lacks of boosting power. The author supposes that besides the weak power of the discipline itself, another important reason is that we have not found the proper research targets or we have not set up a platform of interdisciplinary research. The network of things constructs a brand new field of communication from material world to human society. The connection of disaster early warning with crisis communication in the earthquake of Japan is an interdisciplinary research issue based on the network of things. At the same time, constructing an interdisciplinary research platform is of vital importance, and using the first generation of internet to build a virtual laboratory for the interdisciplinary research is also a kind of new idea.
