Unfortunately most tech in that space seems to be proprietary but here are some companies we have found doing cool stuff in the space.

I think some have some whitepapers, but I'd be surprised if they give much away.

Hey, Nikolay from Streamroot here.

We also have whitepapers easily accessible on our website, and a free dashboard where you can test our technology in a few clicks. In terms of open-source projects, there are some projects like Bem.tv but they lack robustness when you try to scale.
