The original reference is:

@InProceedings	{NFS,
	Author="R. Sandberg",
	Title="The Design and Implementation of the Sun Network File System",
	Booktitle="{USENIX} Association Conference Proceedings",
	Organization="{USENIX} Association",
	Pages="119-130",
	Month="June",
	Year="1985"
}

Notice that it is quite dated.  More up to date descriptions are 
available from Sun and other NFS vendors.
