Configuring the Experimental Environment

By means of the FM  configuration panel (see Figure ), you, the tournament designer, can specify some general features:

• where (machine and port) the auction house is to be running,
• whether the tournament is expected to be monitored, and
• whether the tournament data are to be stored in a database and, if so, where (machine and port) that database will be running.
