Software-Generated Paper Accepted At IEEE Conference

schlangemann writes "Check out the paper Towards the Simulation of E-commerce by Herbert Schlangemann, which is available in the IEEEXplor database (full article available only to IEEE members). This generated paper has been accepted with review by the 2008 International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering (CSSE). According to the organizers, 'CSSE is one of the important conferences sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, which serves as a forum for scientists and engineers in the latest development of artificial intelligence, grid computing, computer graphics, database technology, and software engineering.' Even better, fake author Herbert Schlangemann has been selected as session chair (PDF) for that conference. (The name Schlangemann was chosen based on the short film Der Schlangemann by Andreas Hansson and Björn Renberg.)"

How long till we have automaton congressmen voting for autogenerated legislation with pork provisions for "free storage enhancement" for their cronies?? OMG! :)

    Let me be the first to say that random material implies a review board that is not at odds with itself. Interestingly, researchers are able to better understand material used in conjunction with algorithmic development and first principles engineering, which does not suggest a relationship between the reader and any given node.

    Furthermore, citations may be employed to enhance this phenomenon when used together with LaTeX and multiples of knowledge.

  7. That gives a blow to IEEE credibility by Yvanhoe · · Score: 5, Funny
    If only the paper looked like a legitimate thesis... But reading the abstract makes it obvious it is a joke :

    Recent advances in cooperative technology and classical communication are based entirely on the assumption that the Internet and active networks are not in conflict with object-oriented languages. In fact, few information theorists would disagree with the visualization of DHTs that made refining and possibly simulating 8 bitarchitectures a reality, which embodies the compelling principles of electrical engineering. In this work we better understand how digital-to-analog converters can be applied to the development of e-commerce.

    The first person to show me how digital-to-analog converters can be applied to the development of e-commerce wins an Internet.

    The entire point of the paper was "If you send a request and you don't get a response back for a while, something probably went wrong." I read over it a couple times, hoping I was missing something that actually had substance to it. No luck.

    It was probably an attempt to satisfy the author's "[citation needed]" request in Wikipedia.

    Even if you look only at their own, "branded" journals (IEEE Transactions on Foo), they seem to be founding new ones ever other week, which range in quality all the way from well respected in their field, to kooky.

    Don't criticize it, legalize it. Why not have an IEEE conference on Software-Generated Papers?

    It may sound wacky, but it will probably solicit plenty of entries.

    Hmmm ... so then the peer reviewers would also have to be Software-Generated. And Software-Generated attendees?
