    anyone recommend a book or article on this topic?

    asset allocation is just a mathematical procedure for weighting the
    elements of a portfolio such that risk is minimized for any target
    level of return.
    
    for a real nuts-and-bolts approach, you can try "Numerical methods in
    Finance".  For a more theoretical explanation you can try "Investing"
    by Bodie, Kane, and Marcus, or one of the original books by Markowitz,
    which you can find in the MIT Dewey library.
