Another approach to reduce crosstalk between lines of a bus is to
transpose the conductors every so often along the length of the bus.
Basically, this prevents two conductors from being nearest neighbors
for the entire length of the bus. This approach is effective
if not all of the lines are switching simultaneously, such as in
a control bus. An added benefit is that there is less propagation
delay skew than in an ordinary parallel bus.
The technique is described in "Transposing Conductors in Signal Buses
to Reduce Nearest-Neighbor Crosstalk," R. H. Voelker, IEEE Trans.
Microwave Thoery Tech., vol. 43, no.5, pp. 1095-1099, May 1995.

Hi,
Without claiming that the list is complete, here are some of the
publications on crosstalk reduction that I am aware of. Many of them
actually deal with grounded traces to reduce crosstalk, some include
comparison with measured data.
