Efficient Answering of Historical What-if Queries
Summary: Proposes historical what-if queries to quantify the impact of hypothetical history changes on current data. Uses reenactment with program and data slicing to prune irrelevant updates, enabling efficient evaluation of modified histories; implemented in Mahif and demonstrated experimentally.
