tikistitchThis prank is pretty sweet.
Though, to be fair, we attended Mr. Tikistitch's dissertation defense, something about a constraint-imperative, object-oriented programming language, and it was not, to our psychologist's ears, much dissimilar.
The "main author," (or perhaps we could better term him, main hacker), Mr. Jeremy Stribling, has posted an Automatic CS Paper Generator on his web page, so you too may be a CS genius!!
He is also looking for donations to send him to the con.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Reuters) - A bunch of computer-generated gibberish masquerading as an academic paper has been accepted at a scientific conference in a victory for pranksters at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The trio submitted two of the randomly assembled papers to the World Multiconference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (WMSCI), scheduled to be held July 10-13 in Orlando, Florida.
To their surprise, one of the papers -- "Rooter: A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy" -- was accepted for presentation.
"Rooter" features such mind-bending gems as: "the model for our heuristic consists of four independent components: simulated annealing, active networks, flexible modalities, and the study of reinforcement learning" and "We implemented our scatter/gather I/O server in Simula-67, augmented with opportunistically pipelined extensions."
