and a link to its proceedings would be a start, but probable better if they can be somewhere together in one repository...<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Barend, thank you for answering the email from Eli, I agree that there seems to be no volunteers to pursue this effort, the conference papers were published through other means, mostly special issues of indexed journals,<o:p></o:p></p>
