To bring more confusion, there are some entries where the quote is
accepted in booktitle. For instance:
@inproceedings{ schmuck02gpfs,
author = "Frank Schmuck and Roger Haskin",
title = "{GPFS}: {A} {S}hared-{D}isk {F}ile {S}ystem for {L}arge
{C}omputing {C}lusters",
booktitle = "Proceedings of the Conference on File and Storage
Technologies (FAST'02)",
publisher = "USENIX, Berkeley, CA",
pages = "231--244",
year = "2002",
month = JAN,
address = "Monterey, CA",
}
