Fake Paper for a Computer Conference:

Arvin Tseng (Rebuttable Presumption) has a pointer to this story. “Jeremy Stribling said Thursday that he and two fellow MIT graduate students questioned the standards of some academic conferences, so they wrote a computer program to generate research papers complete with ‘context-free grammar,’ charts and diagrams. . . . To their surprise, one of the papers — ‘Rooter: A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy’ — was accepted for presentation [at a conference.”
