Well I was preparing my writing for the upcoming PACT 2014 conference (which happens to be in Edmonton, yayyy. I so want a paper there I can't tell!!). This year, they are following the IEEE style for the submission. If you try to download the IEEE standard latex files, the files are downloaded in a zipped archive where you will find an empty bare_conf.tex file that you have to edit. Also the regular IEEEtran.cls file.
Now in the sample tex file (bare_conf.tex), they mention the bibliography in the following format:
\begin{thebibliography}
----a bunch of \bibitems
\end{thebibliography}
It is a good technique, in the sense that while submitting the source files for your submission, you can integrate your citations in the .tex file and submit it. But obviously, for generating the \bibitems, you have to successfully run \bibtex on the .bib file. For using the .bib file IEEE suggests the following format.
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{IEEEabrv,mybibfile}

Clearly, you neead a IEEEtran.bst file for successful compilation but they don't supply it with the original zip archive!! Well, here are the contents of IEEEtran.bst and IEEEabrv.bib as found from the internet. (Note that, you can also skip creating the IEEEabrv.bib file and use the command -- \bibliography{mybibfile}
Hope it helps someone quickly!!
