Title: Extending BibTeX

Abstract:
A necessary step in the preparation of a document is the compilation of a list of references. In the fields of math and engineering, the de facto tool for this purpose is BibTeX. BibTeX, however, may fall short of intentions in the current publishing environment. This talk introduces several extensions to BibTeX, including homebrew tools and camel, the "official" LaTeX3 project replacement for BibTeX.
