Bibtex entry for Conference talk

[Bernd Schandl]

What is the correct way to enter a talk at a conference in
BibTeX.
Right now an entry in my database looks as follows:

@InProceedings{foo:zip:1998,
author = "Schandl, Bernd",
title = "Something I want to talk about",
year = 1998,
note = "Presented at the 14th Conference on Whatever
in June 1998 in Charlottesville, VA, USA"
}

This does basically work, but since BibTeX issues the warning
Warning--empty booktitle in foo:zip:1998
I thought that there might be a better solution.

Usually, I do the following:

@InProceedings{Agarwal:Alewife:95,
author = {Agarwal, A. and Bianchini, R. and Chaiken, D. and
Johnson, K. L. and Kranz, D. and Kubiatowicz, J. and
Lim, B.-H. and Mackenzie, K. and Yeung, D.},
title = {The MIT Alewife Machine: Architecture and
Performance},
booktitle = {Proc.\ of the 22nd Intl.\ Symposium
on Computer Architecture},
pages = {2-13},
year = {1995},
note =

{\url{ftp://ftp.cag.lcs.mit.edu/pub/papers/isca95.ps.Z}}
}

Hope this helps.

That's a good solution if the proceedings already exist. But if
they
are not yet printed or this talk does not make it in the
proceedings,
what would be the correct bibtex entry?

Use "note = {To appear}" and leave out the page numbers, if you
don't know them yet.

Then it's either @unpublished or @misc. If you want, put a note
about your talk into the "note" field.

Because in this way references can be distinguished from formula.

Try

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@cite}[2]{({#1\if@tempswa , #2\fi})}
\renewcommand{\@biblabel}[1]{(#1)}
\makeatother

to have the output in the main text and in the references section
changed.

No need for html in newsgroups. Turn it off, please.

Happy TeXing!

Just say
\usepackage{apalike}
after your \documentclass command.
