It is in the JDK-1.1 documentation. For the HTML version try
/guide/serialization/spec/protocol.doc.html under the documentation
tree. A grammar definition for the external representation
is included.

There is also a paper published by Usenix:
 R. Riggs, J. Waldo, A. Wollrath and K. Bharath. "Pickling State in the
 Java System", Usenix Computing Systems, Vol.9 no.4, Fall 1996, 291--312.
