Some conferences publish versions of the papers presented at the conference in a book-like collection known as a Conference Proceedings. These proceedings have all of the features of an edited book, and papers in conference proceedings are treated much like chapters of edited books.
Other conferences do not publish official proceedings, but make the papers submitted to the conference available as separate documents. These are treated as informally published works.
