9 Artificial intelligence: Autonomy, networking and auto-piloting of gliders
Alberto Alvarez

10 Networking and optimum mission planning: Gliders in heterogeneous networks
From 14 to 18 August 2013, the data gathered by a glider and a profiling float was assimilated into the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS). A 2-day assimilation cycle was considered Optimum glider trajectories were adaptively generated based on expected float positions within each assimilation cycle.
