Stacks

• Follow http://www.ros.org/wiki/StackVersionPolicy

Packages

• All ROCS related ROS packages are stored in a stack called rocs. Each package in the stack is named with a prefix rocs_ e.g. rocs_simulation.
• The name of the package refers to the functionality provided by the package e.g. rocs_topological_mapping

Nodes

• All ROCS nodes are named with a prefix rocs_ e.g. rocs_topological_graph_builder.
• The name of the node characterizes the specific component.

Dependencies

• Internal dependencies are set in case a package strongly depends on another package and cannot be run without the other package.
