Dr. Birth gave two excellent presentations at the 2013 Charlottesville
colloquium, “Requirements for UTC and Civil Timekeeping on Earth”:

These papers contain many dozens of citations, and I can also recommend his
2012 book, "Objects of Time: How Things Shape Temporality”.
I am grateful for the many fascinating temporal detours (or perhaps they are
the main route?) to which the question of the future of UTC has led.
