The basic paper is:

@article{Terzopoulos88b,
   AUTHOR = {M. Kass and A. Witkin and D. Terzopoulos},
   TITLE = {Snakes:  Active Contour Models},
   YEAR = 1988,
   JOURNAL = IJCV,
   VOLUME = 1,

More recent papers are:

@InProceedings(Cipolla-Blake90,
   Author="R. Cipolla and A. Blake",
   Title="The dynamic analysis of apparent contours",
   Booktitle=ICCV,
   Pages="616--623",
   Address=ICCV90,
   Year=1990
   )

@Inbook{Curwen-Blake92,
   Editor = "A. Blake and A. Yuille",
   Title = {Active Vision},
   Author = "R. Curwen and A. Blake",
   Chapter = "Dynamic Contours: Real-time Active Snakes",
   Publisher = {MIT Press},
   Address = {Cambridge, MA},
   Year = 1992,
   Pages={39--57}}

@Inbook{Terzopoulos92,
   Editor = "A. Blake and A. Yuille",
   Title = {Active Vision},
   Author = "D. Terzopoulos and R. Szeliski",
   Chapter = "Tracking with Kalman Snakes",
   Publisher = {MIT Press},
   Address = {Cambridge, MA},
   Year = 1992,
   Pages={3--20}}

@Inproceedings{Blake-Curwen93,
   Author="Blake, A. and Curwen, R. and Zisserman, A.",
   Title="Affine-invariant contour tracking with automatic control of spatiotemporal scale",
   Booktitle=ICCV,
   Address=ICCV93,
   Pages="66--75",
   Year="1993"
}

At least you'll find some pointers in these papers. Actually there are lots of variations
of the basic 'snake' concept.
