• All publisher or subscriber nodes must be named in this format <some>_publisher_node or <some>_subscriber_node

• All action nodes must be named in this format <some>_action_client_node or <some>_action_server_node

• All service nodes must be named in this format <some>_service_client_node or <some>_service_server_node

• Where <some> is a short descriptive name of the task the node does. Example: Fibonacci or AddTwoInts
