In the past years important steps have been taken in order to improve both standardization and interoperability in marine acquisition systems, such as the adoption of the Open Geospatial Consortium's Sensor Web Enablement framework. Within this framework, standardized procedures to access the data from heterogeneous sensor resources have been proposed. However, due to the wide variety of software and hardware architectures of the different platforms, as well as power and communications constraints, the remote configuration of theses platforms still remains a challenge. In this work we present a standards-based approach to remotely configure sensors deployed in marine observation platforms through the Sensor Web Enablement framework.
