1 Let s Learn Market Mechanism by Artificial Market Attached CD-ROM README file U-Mart project 1. Introduction The U-Mart system is a system that builds a virtual artificial futures market on a computer network to conduct trading between humans and computer-programmed machines. The U-Mart system has a good track record and has been utilized in interdisciplinary study and education, and open experiments. The attached CD-ROM contains the U-Mart system that can run on Windows, Linux and Mackintosh. See the book for instructions on how to install and use the system. This document contains information and reminders which the book does not contain. We wish the U-Mart system to be utilized by as many people as possible. Regarding the U-Mart project, see the book and the pamphlet of U-Mart project included in the Doc folder. 2.

Starting from Command Line The U-Mart system can also be started using the command line. Command Prompt (Windows), each terminal (Linux, e.g., gnome-terminal), or Terminal (Mac OS X) should be started first. And then, the following commands can run the U-Mart system after selecting respective folders containing the system: Stand-alone Market Simulator (Japanese): MarketSimulator_ja java -cp. : UMartSystem. jar gui. UStandAloneGUI Network Market Server (Japanese): MarketServer_ja java -cp. : UMartSystem. jar gui. UServerManager Network Trading Terminal (Japanese): TradingTerminal_ja java -cp. : UMartSystem. jar gui. UNetGUI Stand-alone Market Simulator (English): MarketSimulator_en java -Duser.

Language=en -cp. : UMartSystem. jar gui. UNetGUI About JAVA for the U-Mart system When using JAVA of the JRE included in Windows and Linux versions without installing any Java environment (JRE or JSE) in your computer, replace java with the following paths:. jre bin java (Windows),./jre/bin/java (Linux). Additionally, if you want to use a different version of Java environment than that which is contained, the path should be set by the individual. When it comes to the case of Mac OS X, you do not need to replace java with the above mentioned paths since the OS contains the Java environment by default. 5. Support and Related Information The U-Mart project website offers beneficial information regarding the U-Mart project and U-Mart system. The above cited website conducts bug fixing for the U-Mart system included in this CD-ROM, and offers the latest version of the system, other information, and all support. 6. Acknowledgement The original U-Mart server was created by Dr. Hiroshi Sato of National Defense Academy, JAPAN, and Mr. Rikiya Fukumoto, Tokyo Institute of Technology, JAPAN. Subsequently, the development was passed to the U-Mart project. The U-Mart system adopts J30 as stock index data provided and calculated by Mainichi Newspapers Co., JAPAN. Java(TM)2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment, JLauncher ( and Sazanami Font ( have been utilized for the U-Mart system development. We are thankful to all the people who participated in the activity of U-Mart project, as well as open experiments.
