Manifesto
The scientific community is rich of brilliant solutions for a lot of real world problems.But unfortunately, most of them are not implemented as real systems.
We think that working on realizing these great ideas is going to make the world a better place, and because of that we created ResearchCoders. One example of projects that originated from scientific community's work is Apache Hadoop, which inspired by the scientific paper "MapReduce: Simplified Data Processing on Large Clusters". The world after Apache Hadoop is never the same, especially when it was released as an open source project which makes it guarantee the freedom for its users and gives the ability for the programmers around the globe to develop it since its source code is avaiable freely (as in freedom).
There are a lot of other researches that didn't get their chance to be implemented and published as real systems. These researches solve many important problems that we face today. Our goal in ResearchCoders is to draw the attention of the programmers to these researches and urge those programmers to write implementations that realize the ideas of these researches, we also aim to narrow the gap down between the scientific community of Computer Science and programmers community. The enthusiastic programmers can find here useful ideas for their next programming project, implementing these ideas can make the world a better place.
A list of researches are presented in ResearchCoders, these researches solve real problems in an implementable way. The programmer can choose any research that interests her and implement it. After that, the implementation can be published in ResearchCoders. We try our best in ReseachCoders to choose the presented researches carefully. Also, we will try our best to provide "For Programmers" series, which is a document that explains the ideas of a specific paper in a way that makes it easier for programmers to grasp, but of course the programmer should refer to the original paper for better understanding. Since ResearchCoders is a voluntary project, we can't promise that all presented papers will have "For Programmers" document immediatly. People who are intersted in writing such a document for a specific paper can send us their work to be published here.
At last but not least, let's have some fun and implement some useful systems!
