Proposed approach for combining distributed sensing, robotic sampling, and offline analysis for in-situ marine monitoring

An approach for coordinated, distributed, in situ sensing is proposed. An example application is chosen (offshore marine monitoring) and the approach is described in the context of the example. Three major research challenges are discussed, (1) coordinated sensing and triggering, (2) localization and time synchronization, and (3) micro mobility.
