Adaptable Query Optimization and Evaluation in Temporal Middleware

Summary: Proposes TANGO, a middleware-driven temporal query processor atop a conventional DBMS. Temporal SQL is partitioned into middleware algebra and DBMS SQL, with a cost-based feedback loop tuning partitioning; built on the Volcano extensible optimizer and the XXL library for optimization.
