Dennis, Jack B. and David P. Misunas. "A preliminary architecture for a basic dataflow processor." In the Proceedings of the 2nd Annual Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA). http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/642089.642111

Description of static dataflow and an architecture for executing programs composed of static dataflow graphs. This is a very early paper on the topic of dataflow architectures, if not the earliest. The first few pages provide a reasonable introduction to the fundamentals of dataflow computation, though they are limited (I believe) to static dataflow models. The architecture described foreshadows that of many future dataflow machines, and the instruction caching problem that became the matching table overflow problem of later machines is discussed (or at least mentioned).
