    abstract  = {This paper discusses the autonomy framework proposed for the mobile
                instruments such as Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and gliders. Paper
                focuses on the challenges faced by these clusters of mobile platform in
                executive tasks such as adaptive sampling in the hostile underwater
                environment. Collaborations between these mobile instruments are essential to
                capture the environmental changes and track them for time-series analysis.
                This paper looks into the challenges imposed by the underwater communication
                infrastructure and presents the nested autonomy architecture as a solution to
                overcome these challenges. The autonomy architecture is separated from the
                low-level control architecture of these instruments, which is called the
                `backseat driver'. The back-seat driver paradigm is implemented on the Mission
                Oriented Object Suite (MOOS) developed at MIT. The autonomy is achieved by
                generating multiple behaviors (multiple objective functions) linked to the
                internal state of the platform as well as the environment. Optimization engine
                called the MOOS-IvP is used to pick the best action for the given instance
                based on the mission at hand. At sea operational scenarios and results are
                presented to demonstrate the proposed autonomy architecture for Ocean
                Observatory Initiative (OOI).}}
