System of Systems integration via a structured naming convention

During the last decade, technology changes and digitization have introduced numerous improvements and challenges in multiple areas of the industry, automation, and design of new architecture. However, the definitions of new naming conventions and identifiers that can be adapted to the new paradigm have not yet been considered.This paper analyzes aspects and characteristics that have to be included in the design of a naming convention consistent with the current Industry 4.0 requirements. As a result, this paper proposes a new naming convention for the Arrowhead Framework following the requisites and characteristics defined in the system of systems (SoS) integration.The proposed Arrowhead naming convention represents a renovated vision of the identification of services, systems, devices, and networks. A powerful tool in the quest of interoperability, security, service discovery, topology, and dynamic orchestration, as well as, a structured manner of defining meaningfully identifiers as help for developers
