That's not true. Most of what I've found was done with Universities with it often published to ACM or IEEE. The areas I collect are security (esp high assurance), fault-tolerant systems, software engineering (esp automated), systems modelling, and specific use-cases (eg databases). I have skimmed over 10,000 papers on these topics to find that most of the best work is University or a company partnered with one with occasional great work out of Microsoft, Google,etc.
Further, I stumbled upon the meme expressed by Perrine [1], etc that tech continuously reinvents the wheel by making same failures or re-inventing same solutions from the past. There's a bunch of tech that hasn't caught up to stuff from 60's-80's in those papers I reference. You'll see me do my part by referencing it in places like this where it might apply. However, it reflects an overall trend that there's tons of wisdom that's not transferred to new tech generation and we need a Standford-style encyclopedia for it all. More likely a collection of books and Wikipedia-style articles so cross-referencing will encourage serendipity.
So, we could really use this. I considered creating one but Jeremy Epstein advised me to get real buy-in from academics first. That such a repository would probably need a lot for it to be effective, using a network effect I'm guessing. That's a lot more work than I have time for right now lol. Nonetheless, we desperately need it for INFOSEC and IT. Just for fun, I'd use only best-of-breed tools and methods its recommends to run the site itself. People would see it in action as they showed up.
Completely seconded. Universities are where the bulk of CS and software research comes from. Pretty much every paper I've read, especially for systems software, has been from academia, with the notable exceptions of a few publicly funded research labs.
