Conversion to Judaism – Torah Sources for Process

Nowadays, converts are only accepted by Orthodox Judaism if they went through the process of circumcision, immersion and acceptance of the mitzvot, all in front of an Orthodox Beit Din. I don’t believe the Torah discusses the laws of conversion anywhere. What is the source for this entire process? From the Book of Ruth (Ch. 1), it seems that Ruth simply accompanied Naomi from the Land of Moab to the Land of Israel and joined the Jewish people. We don’t find that she went through any formal conversion process – and she became the great-grandmother of King David!
