I happen to have recently done a little something in this area, though not in an object-oriented setting. Other than the citations in my related work section, there is a presentation adjacent to mine at ESOP that does some inference in a dependent type system (cited below). @inproceedings{ title = "Type Reconstruction for General Refinement Types", author = "Kenneth Knowles and Cormac Flanagan", booktitle = "ESOP", year = 2007, url = "http://kenn.frap.net/publications/knowles-flanagan.esop.07.type.pdf" } @inproceedings{ title = "Dependent Types for Low-Level Programming", author = "Jeremy Condit and Matthew Harren and Zachary Anderson and David Gay and George C. Necula", booktitle = "ESOP", year = "2007" } Hope these help, - Kenn
