Right.  However, depending on how complicated your setup is, you may 
want to refer to the specific resource that lies on node3 rather than 
"node3" itself (in case you move that special resource to another 
machine, or setup another machine with another instance of that special 
resource).  If you decide to go with a resource-oriented requirements 
specification, you would probably not name your resource "NODE3" (as I 
previously suggested), but something that accurately refers to your 
resource (i.e. "HAS_MATLAB", "HAS_PROJ1_FPGA1", etc).
