BATON Overlay
The BAlanced Tree Overlay Network (BATON) is a distributed tree structure designed for peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. Unlike other overlays that employ a distributed hash table, BATON organises peers in a distributed tree to facilitate range search. BATON aims to maintain a balanced tree height, similar to the AVL tree, resulting in a bounded to O(\log N) for search exact and range queries as well as update operations (join/leave). System model BATON is a binary tree. In each tree level, the node is named by its position in the tree. Each node in BATON keeps four kinds of links: # a link to its parent node (unless it is root) # links up to two-children nodes # a link to left and right adjacent node # links to select neighbor nodes maintained in a left routing table (LRT) and right routing table (RRT). Combining these, the routing table is created RT := \cup The level of any node is one greater than the level of its parent. Root is on level 0. For a node at position p, it will fill ...

Baton Bunny
''Baton Bunny'' is a 1959 Warner Bros. ''Looney Tunes'' cartoon, directed by Chuck Jones and Abe Levitow. The short was released on 10 January 1959, and stars Bugs Bunny. It shows Bugs conducting an orchestra – with a fly bothering him. Bugs conducts, and in part, plays the overture to "Ein Morgen, ein Mittag und Abend in Wien" (A Morning, Noon, and Night in Vienna)", a composition by Franz von Suppé. Though Mel Blanc was credited for vocal characterizations, there is no dialogue in the short; the only vocal effect made was when an audience member is heard coughing. This is the third and last Bugs Bunny cartoon (the first two being '' A Corny Concerto'' and '' Rhapsody Rabbit'', although he says three lines in the latter) where Bugs is silent. Or, nearly silent; at one point, he 'shushes' the brass. This is also one of the last cartoons to get a Merrie Melodies Blue Ribbon reissue in 1968. Plot Bugs is about to conduct "The Warner Bros. Symphony Orchestra" (supposedly in con ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Baton Broadcasting System
The Baton Broadcast System ( ), also known as BBS, was a Canadian system of television stations located in Ontario and Saskatchewan, owned by Baton Broadcasting.
