The earliest published papers I can find on EMC at the NIST website are dated 1993+. Here is a link to the 1993 paper. https://tsapps.nist.gov/publication/get_pdf.cfm?pub_id=820482.
The page Brian linked to (from old Linuxcnc Docs) has a link to an NIST paper (dated 2000) that mentions that the EMC project officially began in 1992. And was inspired by, grew out of, or was at least influenced by a "Next Generation Control" program funded by the USAF and started around 1987. These and a number of other historic papers on the subject can be easily found on the NIST website. Just got the NIST's home pate click publications and search for "Enhanced Machine Controller".
