consist of stationary or mobile nodes such as Autonomous Underwater
Vehicles (AUVs), which may be classified as propellerdriven
vehicles and gliders, that are equipped with a variety of
sensors for performing collaborative monitoring tasks. The missions
entrusted to the AUVs in this work are critical to human life
and property, are bound by severe time and energy constraints,
and involve a high degree of inter-vehicular communication. In
this work, a task allocation framework for networked AUVs that
participate as a team to accomplish critical missions is developed.
The team formed as a result of this task allocation framework is
the subset of all deployed AUVs that is best suited to accomplish
the mission while adhering to the mission constraints. Research
specific to this area has been limited, hence a task allocation
framework for networked AUVs to accomplish critical missions
is proposed.},
