Pre U-Mart

This was the first experiment after the U-Mart System developed. The purpose of this experiment was to confirm if the system would work as designed. There had been many concerns about the system: if the server program would work correctly, if the system would be able to communicate with agents working on PCs and connecting to the network, etc. Since we did not grant this experiment as a formal one, added "Pre" to its name. Participants brought their own laptop PCs and connected to the network at the experiment site. It took one night for final debugging. Experiments were conducted twice during the session, and as the results, we found that random agents were very excellent and violent fluctuations were more apparent than we had expected.
