Some enlightened reading would be on the calibration, latency, and overall algorithms created to try to make some use of the readings. The AOA readings must be coupled with airspeed, weight, flaps settings, and winds aloft.
Front landing gear doors open, sideslip, vertical winds, and of course, banked turns...all render the readings useless without an algorithm.
An article (previously linked) by Peter Lemme describes some of the uncertainties around AOA measurement, which are particularly relevant to this discussion:
