It seems some people intentionally invent the weird names for the articles or terms, e.g.:
EDIT: I don’t want to say anything bad about the paper itself. It’s very informative.
What’s so weird with those? All they are doing is describing the paper like a title should. If you want more names like this, look up patents :point:
They could make “System-and Application-Specific Heuristics”, for example. 
It’s just some trend to make acronyms words again - and if those heuristics are difficult to work with, I can understand the pun that they are considered ASS(H)es instead of SASHes …
Humor can make live easier at times.
Office talk “Hey are you working with those asses again?” - “No, this time I’ve got sashes, they are not so rude.”
Laughter and no one, not being an insider will get it. People like to have their secret group codes 
I agree and understand their acronym-to-fun-names trend.
I was looking like ;D all along while reading the paper but I meant another things. Try to google the title: entirely ‘asses’ instead of something relevant.
Another example - SOLAR that is the acronym for the software system.
When googling it the lots of ‘solar energy’ and ‘solar power plants’ will be found before I get what I want.
Sometimes (when I’m tired) I’m gonna think it’s intention.
