SCIgen is a program that randomly generates nonsense in the form of computer science research papers, including graphs, figures, and citations. Nonsense is a verbal communication or Written text which appears to be a Human language or other Symbolic system, but in fact does not carry any identifiable Computer science (or computing science) is the study and the Science of the theoretical foundations of Information and Computation and their It uses a custom-made context-free grammar to form all elements of the papers. In Formal language theory, a context-free grammar ( CFG) is a grammar in which every production rule is of the form V &rarr

In 2005, a paper generated by SCIgen, Rooter: A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy, was accepted as a "non-reviewed" paper to the World Multiconference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (WMSCI 2005), and the authors were invited to speak. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. WMSCI is the acronym of the World Multiconference on Systemics Cybernetics and Informatics, a Computer science and Engineering conference that has The authors of SCIgen described their hoax on their website, and it soon received great publicity when picked up by Slashdot. Slashdot, often abbreviated as /, is a technology-related news Website owned by SourceForge Inc

WMSCI withdrew their invitation, but the SCIgen team went anyway, renting space in the hotel separately from the conference and delivering a series of randomly generated talks on their own "track. "

Submitting the paper was a deliberate attempt to embarrass WMSCI, which the authors claim accepts low quality papers and sends unsolicited requests for submissions in bulk to academics. As the SCIgen website states:

One useful purpose for such a program is to auto-generate submissions to conferences that you suspect might have very low submission standards. A prime example, which you may recognize from spam in your inbox, is SCI/IIIS and its dozens of co-located conferences (check out the very broad conference description on the WMSCI 2005 website).

Opening abstract of Rooter: A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy:^[2]

Many physicists would agree that, had it not been for congestion control, the evaluation of web browsers might never have occurred. An abstract is a brief summary of a research article Thesis, review conference proceeding or any in-depth analysis of a particular subject or discipline In fact, few hackers worldwide would disagree with the essential unification of voice-over-IP and public/private key pair. In order to solve this riddle, we confirm that SMPs can be made stochastic, cacheable, and interposable.

Elsevier, the world's largest Publisher of Medical and Scientific literature, forms part of the Reed Elsevier group The students wrote under the false, non-Persian surname, MosallahNejad, which translates literally as: "from an Armed Breed". The paper was subsequently removed when the publishers were informed that it was a joke paper^[6].
