Giant monopole resonance and nuclear compression modulus for 40Ca and 16O
Using a collective potential derived on the basis of the Generator Coordinate
Method with Skyrme interactions we obtain values for the compression modulus of
40Ca which are in good agreement with a recently obtained experimental value.
Calculated values for the compression modulus for 16O are also given. The
procedure involved in the derivation of the collective potential is briefly
reviewed and discussed.Comment: 14 pages, no figures, two tables, REVTE
Run-Time Selection of Coordination Mechanisms in Multi-Agent Systems
This paper presents a framework that enables autonomous agents to dynamically select the mechanism they employ in order to coordinate their inter-related activities. Adopting this framework means coordination mechanisms move from the realm of being imposed upon the system at design time, to something that the agents select at run-time in order to fit their prevailing circumstances and their current coordination needs. Empirical analysis is used to evaluate the effect of various design alternatives for the agent's decision making mechanisms and for the coordination mechanisms themselves
