1.INTRODUCTION:
A pre-Hilbert
C
*-module over aC
*-algebraA
is an algebraic leftA
−
moduleM
equipped with anA
−
valued inner product.,.
which isA
−
linear in the first variable and for everyx y
,
∈
M
satisfies the following relations: (1)x x
,
≥
0;(2)
x x
,
= 0 if and ifx
= 0
;(3)
x y
,
*=
y x
,
.We say
M
is a HilbertC
*-module if it is a Banach space with respect to the norm1 2
=

x x
. A Hilbertmodule
M
is called full if the closed linear spanM M
,
of all elements of the formx y
,
( ,
x y
∈
M
)
is equalto
A
. It can be easily proved that ifM
is a full Hilbert module over aC
*-algebraA
thena

if and only if= 0

for allx
∈
M
. For more details on Hilbert modules one can see [9].Now let
M
andN
be Hilbert modules overC
*-algebrasA
andB
respectively. Following [2] we call a map:
M
N
Φ
→
is a unitary operator if there exists an injective morphism ofC
*-algebrasϕ
:
A
→
B
such thatΦ
is a surjectiveϕ
-morphism. The set of all unitary operators onM
together with composition of maps form a group which is denoted byU M
(
)
. IfM
is full andα
:
M
→
M
is a unitary operator than there is a*
-isomorphism'
:
A
A
α

such thatα

morphism ([2] Remark 2.9).Abbaspour, Moslehian and Niknam in [1] characterized a dynamical system on a full Hilbert module
M
over aC
* -algebraA
as a one-parameter group of unitaries onM
. They proved that ifα
:
R
→
U M
(
)
is a dynamical system,then it corresponds to a
C
*-dynamical systemα
' onA
such that ifδ
andd
are the infinitesimal generators ---of
α
andα
' respectively, thenδ
is ad
−
generalized derivation. In this paper we first extend this to one-parameterC
−
group of unitaries on a full HilbertC
*-moduleM
whereC
is a unitary operator onM
. For more details onC
−
groups see [4]. We discuss dynamical systems on a full Hilbert module over a Frechet locallyC
*-algebra. A locallyC
*-algebra is a complete Hausdorff complex*
-algebraA
whose topology is determined by its continuous*
C
-seminorms. The set of all continuousC
*-seminorms onA
is denoted byS A
( )
. A Frechet locallyC
*-algebra isa locally
C
*-algebra whose topology is determined by a countable family ofC
*-seminorms. Clearly anyC
*-algebrais a Frechet locally
C
*-algebra. In [8], Joita characterized a unitary operatorΦ
:
E
→
F
, whereA
andB
are two Frechet locallyC
*-algebras andE
andF
are full Hilbert modules overA
andB
respectively. We describe dynamical systems on these spaces. We also investigate two-parameter dynamical systems on a full HilbertC
*-module. The reader is referred to [7] for more details on two-parameter dynamical systems and to [11] on
C
* -dynamical systems.In Sec. 3, we describe dynamical systems on a
C
*-algebra. More precisely we characterize the infinitesimal generator of a uniformly continuous (strongly continuous) positiveC
-semigroups on aC

C
*-ALGEBRA:In 1979 Evans and Olsen in [6] characterized infinitesimal generator of a positive uniformly continuous semigroup on a C*-algebra

semigroup of positive operators (see [3]). In thisgeneralization, they obtained above inequalities with resolvent

instead ofL
.Later the notion of
C

semigroups was introduced by Da Prato (1967), E. B. Davies and M. M. Pang (1989) independently.C
−
semigroups are a significant generalization of strongly continuous semigroups.C
may be any bounded, injective operator, whereC
equals the identity operator, then aC
−
semigroup is a strongly continuous semigroup (see[4]). The aim of this section is to characterize the infinitesimal generator of uniformly continuous and strongly continuous positiveC

semigroups on a C*-algebra A.In the following we recall the definition of uniformly continuous
