FM is multi-user. It allows multiple users to spawn their agents in their own machines in order for these to participate in remote tournaments. Those users intending to connect their agents to FM must have been previously installed FMRE (FM Runtime Environment), the minimum subset of FM required for managing the interaction between a remote agent and FM.
What happens if you intend to run tournaments which involve not only your own agents but other users' agents? People might feel reluctant to hand in their agents for you to snoop about. You could think of letting these other users to participate in your tournaments but, and very importantly, running their agents in their machines, i.e., consuming their own resources. What you must do is to enforce those intending to connect their agents to your tournaments to have previously installed FMRE (the FM Runtime Environment), the minimum subset of FM required for managing the interaction between remote agents and FM. Therefore, the use of FMRE will allow multiple users to spawn their agents in their own machines in order for these to participate in remote tournaments.
