I am a former professor of computer science. I have been teaching for over 20 years. These are a few of the theories that I have shown to some of my more advanced students. They cover a diverse range of computer science and engineering topics.

.. and each is utter garbage.

What the 'author' has done is feed some real CompSci papers into a program that takes combines phrases semi-randomly to produce output text that has some of the characteristics of real stuff but is almost completely meaningless:

"The algorithms method to the UNIVAC computer is defined not only by the refinement of symmetric encryption, but also by the appropriate need for XML. in (sic) fact..."
