HOW TO GENERATE A GOOD PHD THESIS, FAST?

In brief:

The Vuk Karadzic Award in both elementary and high school.
BSc, MSc, and PhD degrees from the University of Belgrade.
Single designer of the most sophisticated multiprocessor system
ever designed in Yugoslavia or Serbia:
Back in late '70s, a 17-microprocessor machine that calculates DFT,
computes the arcus tangens of inphase
and quadrature projections of the incoming data signal,
burried in both multiplicative and additive noise,
and performs detection and data synchronization,
all based on original algorithms and architectures.
published in IEEE Transactions on Acoustics, Speach, and Signal Processing
(about 17000 lines of machine code).
Co-architect and co-designer of the World's first 200MHz RISC microprocessor,
for DARPA, published in IEEE Transactions on Computers,
completed about a decade before Intel, back in early '80s.
Responsible for several succesful hw, sw, and e-business on the Internet products,
developed in cooperation with leading industry in the USA
(HP, ENCORE, NCR, RCA, Dow Jones, Wall Street Journal, etc.),
Europe (as a part of FP5, FP6, and FP7 projects financed by EU),
and Japan (an HDL model for a silicon compiler based clone of i860).
Member of the advisory board and active consultant in a number of high-tech companies
(Maxeler, TechnologyConnect, BioPop, IBM, AT&T, NCR, RCA, Honeywell, Fairchild, etc...).
Creator of the vertical migration microprocessor architecture in '90s,
published in IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering,
for which he was awarded Fellow of the IEEE.
For about a decade, on various faculty positions
at one of the top 5 (out of about 2000) US universities in the field of computer engineering (Purdue).
Author and coauthor of about 50 IEEE journal papers (plus many more in other journals).
Over 20 books published by the leading USA publishers
(Wiley, Prentice-Hall, North-Holland, Kluwer, IEEE CS Press, etc...).
In three of them, he is the single author.
Forewords for 7 of his books written by 7 different Nobel Laureates.
Guest editor for a number of special issues in various IEEE journals:
Proceedings of the IEEE, IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Concurrency, IEEE Computer, etc.
Professor Milutinovic taught courses for credit at a number of universities in the USA (MIT, Stanford),
Europe (Shkodra, Podgorica, Ljubljana, Linz, Piza, Salerno, Valencia, Barcelona, Karlskrona, Schoevde, Darmstadt, Dortmund),
and Japan (Tokyo, Sendai).
His scientific life has been influenced a lot by his close past and current professional friends in
Serbia (Prof. Lukatela), USA (Profs. Flynn, Siegel, and Furht), Germany (Prof. Neuhold),
Spain (Prof. Valero), and Japan (Prof. Fujii).
