Have you tried contacting some past researchers in this area directly
perhaps via email, (AFAIK, like Peter Lee of CMU)?


This area seems to fall between PL theory and compilers, so monographs
could end up in several forums, some of which could be quite theoretical
or nontraditional. Your best bet is probably to identify a few names
involved in recent work and then search Citeseer and university home
pages for their latest publications, the forums in which they published,
and others in the field whom they quote.


I'd then email these folks directly for further leads.
