These are articles based on presentations given at conferences. Conference papers and proceedings may be found in many different places. Sometimes they will be published as a book, other times you will find them as journal articles or as an abstract or summary in a database. Be aware that they may take some time to be published and that sometimes they may not be published at all. You may be able to track them down in the repository of the University where the speaker is based.
