Analysis domain model for shared virtual environments
The field of shared virtual environments, which also
encompasses online games and social 3D environments, has a
system landscape consisting of multiple solutions that share great functional overlap. However, there is little system interoperability between the different solutions. A shared virtual environment has an associated problem domain that is highly complex raising difficult challenges to the development process, starting with the architectural design of the underlying system. This paper has two main contributions. The first contribution is a broad domain analysis of shared virtual environments, which enables developers to have a better understanding of the whole rather than the part(s). The second contribution is a reference domain model for discussing and describing solutions - the Analysis Domain Model
Symmetry, bifurcation and stacking of the central configurations of the planar 1+4 body problem
In this work we are interested in the central configurations of the planar
1+4 body problem where the satellites have different infinitesimal masses and
two of them are diametrically opposite in a circle. We can think this problem
as a stacked central configuration too. We show that the configuration are
necessarily symmetric and the other sattelites has the same mass. Moreover we
proved that the number of central configuration in this case is in general one,
two or three and in the special case where the satellites diametrically
opposite have the same mass we proved that the number of central configuration
is one or two saying the exact value of the ratio of the masses that provides
this bifurcation.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Protecting, Enhancing and Reviving Entanglement
We propose a strategies not only to protect but also to enhance and revive
the entanglement in a double Jaynes-Cummings model. We show that such
surprising features arises when Zeno-like measurements are performed during the
dynamical process
Numerical study of a model for non-equilibrium wetting
We revisit the scaling properties of a model for non-equilibrium wetting
[Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 2710 (1997)], correcting previous estimates of the
critical exponents and providing a complete scaling scheme. Moreover, we
investigate a special point in the phase diagram, where the model exhibits a
roughening transition related to directed percolation. We argue that in the
vicinity of this point evaporation from the middle of plateaus can be
interpreted as an external field in the language of directed percolation. This
analogy allows us to compute the crossover exponent and to predict the form of
the phase transition line close to its terminal point.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure
