VISPAR is a research project partially funded by the Commission of European Countries (CEC) at the National Centre for Software Technology in India for investigating the use of parallel computing in global illumination and visualization of 3D environments. A task delegation framework has been evolved based on the notion of distributed agents, which take both the responsibilities of suitably delegating tasks to other agents and of executing tasks delegated to them, based on their core competencies. The paper describes this framework and the distributed multi-agent architecture designed specifically, for obtaining high performance in interactive manipulation and walkthrough computations of very large virtual environments.
