Publication
Conference proceedings are published in-house by the organizing institution of the conference or via an academic publisher. For example, the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series by Springer takes much of its input in the form of proceedings. Conference proceedings can also be published through a dedicated proceedings series as an edited volume where all the inputs come from the conference papers. For another example, the AIJR Proceedings series is published by academic publisher AIJR. Publication of proceedings as edited volume in such series are different from publishing conference paper in the journals; also known as conference issue. Increasingly, proceedings are published in electronic format on the World Wide Web or on a USB stick, CD (more historically), etc.
