    Here is something for you to reference.

    http://www.cvel.clemson.edu/emc/FAQ/question-pcbdes01.html

    And, of course, if you do an internet search on "emi and emc in printed circuit boards" you will get many good references.

    EMI and SI go hand in hand. High speed nets will radiate when the return current in the power plane and the signal current in the net form a loop. The greater the di/dt, the smaller the loop needs to be to stop radiation. Rapid changes in impedance such as 90 degree corners in high speed nets can also bleed radiation.

    I thoroughly recommend attending Howard Johnson's course, Signal Integrity, Black magic. No connection other than a happy attendee.

    The seminar I was referring to was high speed digital design - an intro to black magic. The book is good as a reference manual, but  a little dry to read on its own.
