Abstract :
AUVish is an application-based language for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs), designed to facilitate cooperative behaviors needed for complete coverage in underwater mine countermeasures (MCM). Initially, AUVish was developed to support the computer simulation of replacing lost vehicles. Additional cooperative tasks were added to the simulations and AUVish was modified to handle the complications that arose. The syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of AUVish are explored, along with the processing and application of AUVish messages. A comparison with existing AUV languages concludes the essay
