Abstract: Interactive art courses usually require a huge amount of computational resources to run in real time. These computational demands can significantly grow whenever the application is designed to run within a Virtual Environment. This paper studies the viability of combining two previously developed approaches: a Collaborative Awareness Model for Task-Balancing-Delivery (CAMT) in clusters and the “Teaching about Madrid” course, which provides a cultural interactive background of the capital of Spain. The integration of both systems can improve the response times of the interactive course by distributing the rendering tasks among the set of available nodes at a given time. We present some experimental results that show how CAMT efficiently manages the rendering process of the “Teaching about Madrid” course.
Keywords: Task balancing, multi-agent systems, educational virtual environments
