One more reference to add is

F. Warren Burton, "Speculative Computation, Parallelism, and Functional
Programming," IEEE Transactions on Computers, vol. C-34, number 12, pages
1190-1193, Dec. 1985.

I think Warren may have something newer than this on the subject, but I haven't
spoken with him recently.

I am always on the hunt for people interested in applications of the Rollback
Machine or related technology.
