"Fed up with invitations to submit papers for science conferences, three MIT students devised a software program that deliberately churned out nonsensical scientific gibberish. Now one of their computer-generated ''papers'' has been accepted by a Florida conference," reports the Boston Herald.
"Their fake report -- Rooter: A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy -- is intended to show that many so-called academic conferences have few or no minimum standards. The gatherings' purpose: simply to make money."
Comment: Barrel. Fish. Shoot.
