bibliography!

proceedings.bib is a list of conference proceedings in/around distributed systems that are uniformly formatted for good-looking references sections.

To use this file in a LaTeX project:

1. Copy it to your project.

2. Cite papers from conferences listed in the file by using the crossref field. E.g., if you want to cite the eRPC paper from NSDI 2019, find the proceedings entry in proceedings.bib:

@proceedings{nsdi19,
	title = "Proceedings of the 16th USENIX Conference on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI'19)",
	booktitle = "Proceedings of the 16th USENIX Conference on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI'19)",
	year = {2019},
	publisher = usenix,
	address = {Berkeley, CA, USA},
	venue = {Boston, MA, USA}
}

Then use the label "nsdi19" to include conference info in the inproceedings entry:

@inproceedings{erpc,
	title={{Datacenter RPCs can be general and fast}},
	author={Kalia, Anuj and Kaminsky, Michael and Andersen, David G},
	crossref="nsdi19",
}

3. Include it in your project's main file with the line:

\bibliography{<your refs here>,proceedings}

4. Make this more useful for everyone by adding conferences that aren't already there!

Note

Bibtex will try to be fancy and condense redundant proceedings citations into a single, separate entry that individual entries will reference. If you don't want this behavior, you need to set the min-crossrefs command line option in bibtex to something large, like 20.

If you use latexmk, you can do this by adding the following line to your latexmkrc file:

$bibtex = "bibtex -min-crossrefs=20";

Overleaf uses a default latexmkrc for all projects unless the user includes one. So, if you use Overleaf, you can copy the default latexmkrc into a file with the same name, add the above line, and add it to your project.
