The eclipsing Cataclysmic Variable GS Pavonis: Evidence for disk radius changes
We have obtained differential time series photometry of the cataclysmic
variable GS Pavonis over a timespan of 2 years. These show that this system is
deeply eclipsing (~2-3.5 mag) with an orbital period of 3.72 hr. The eclipse
depth and out-of-eclipse light levels are correlated. From this correlation we
deduce that the disk radius is changing and that the eclipses in the low state
are total. The derived distance to GS Pav is 790+/-90 pc, with a height above
the galactic plane of 420+/-60 pc. We classify GS Pav as a novalike system.Comment: 4 pages, including 2 figures, accepted for publication in A&A Letter

Active Business Objects (ABOs): A novel paradigm for building (and using!) Business Information System
The ABO project aims in the design and development an agent platform where mobile agents represent business processes. These agents encapsulate the policies, business practices and models of different business activities (like order management, payroll, warehouse and stock control). The aim of ABO is to provide a new paradigm of Business Information System design and use
