[Tccc] Auto Generated paper in IEEEXplore Database

Dear all,
I have followed this discussion with great interest. Of course, it is a pity
to see people resort to things like SciGen just to gain acceptance(?) for
their work. What I find alarming, however, is that such papers should show
up in conferences associated with a reputable technical organization like
the IEEE. Such papers could seriously damage IEEE's own credibility.
I am sure that these papers would not have been accepted at the conferences
(let alone indexed in IEEEXplore) if the proper review process had been
adhered to.
IMHO, IEEE should audit all the conferences that it sponsors to make sure
that all papers go through a proper review process with at least two
reviewers. IEEE would withdraw its sponsorship from any conference that it
deems have a lax paper review process. Whose responsibility within IEEE that
should be, I don't know. Perhaps the actual society or technical committee
that sponsors the conference?

Dear All
Interesting to see this.
I have not read whole paper. I Just generate a paper with SCIgen and compare
with ieee paper. I find the below similarities.
1.Pattern of Figures are similar
2.Pattern of Evaluation graphs are similar
3.Even reference years range is somehow similar i.e year 1999 to 2005. -:)
4.They are others papers as well,which are generated by SCIgen and accepted
in IEEE
