The problem of naming has been extensively studied
in the field of distributed systems. However, Multi-
Processor System-on-a-Chips (MPSoCs), which are becoming
more and more important in the construction
of complex embedded systems, exhibit unique challenges
with respect to naming. These challenges are induced
by the need for dynamic resource management, independent
development of IP cores and application subsystems,
complexity management during system integration,
and support for heterogeneous application domains.
The solution proposed for naming in this paper is
part of the Time-Triggered System-on-a-Chip (TTSoC)
architecture, which is a novel system architecture for
MPSoCs. In particular, the developed naming scheme
supports the integration of large embedded systems comprising
multiple application subsystems (e.g., multimedia,
comfort, powertrain in a car), each with its own
dedicated domain-specific namespace. Furthermore, the
TTSoC architecture provides gateways to support the
construction of clusters of multiple SoCs, which creates
the need for a naming scheme that establishes a
uniform namespace across systems of systems.
