What utter tripe! I love it!
Here's one that it generated for me. I used the names of 2 evolutionary bioologists and a herpetologist.
Unfortunatly, it only works for computer science. A pity. Something like this could take a lot of the bombast out of other seminars.
Will ID pick it up for their own devices? Hell, I thought they already had.

LOL I generated one for me and my abstract had this wonderful line quote:
we use omniscient modalities to disprove that 802.11 mesh networks and systems can cooperate to answer this grand challenge.

| My son printed one out and he says that he's going to put one in his end-of-the-year homeschooling portfolio, just to see if the teacher/friend who evaluates it catches the fact that his 5-year-old sister, our cat and our dog are co-authors. He doesn't expect the guy to realize that it's BS though.... |

Thanks! That solves all my problems! Now I don't have to write that long, boring paper on microprocessors...  |

The word got out:
http://us.cnn.com/2005/EDUCATION/04/21/academic.hoax.ap/index.htmlquote:
The offer accepting a paper and inviting the students to present it in person in Orlando was rescinded after word of the hoax got out, and the students were refunded the $390 fee to attend the conference and have the paper published in its proceedings.
Also:quote:
But the conference has apparently been targeted by pranksters before.
An Australian computer scientist, Justin Zobel, describes on his Web site three papers that were accepted without comment for the 2002 conference.
One submission was purposefully nonsensical, another submission juxtaposed lines from two different papers, and the third tried unsuccessfully to sabotage itself by claiming, for instance, that the method proposed "does not work at all."
