Abstract
A dynamical model of the decaying vacuum energy is presented, which is based on Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory with a scalar field . The solution of an evolutionary differential equation for the scalar field drives the vacuum energy towards a cosmological constant at the present epoch that can give for the age of the universe, Gyr for , which is consistent with the age of globular clusters.
