Abstract :
This paper describes the initial design phase of the software control architecture for the AUV MARIUS. This research effort is part of a long term project that aims to enable the prototype vehicle to carry out environmental surveying missions in coastal waters, in a completely autonomous mode. Throughout the project, MARIUS will be used as an advanced testbed to test developments in the areas of mission planning and real-time mission execution systems for AUVs
