Overview

A PoC  has been proposed in Rel G timeframe to demonstrate the possibility to adopt a model driven approach in the definition of a control loop and its compoments using a common catalogue for any control loop artifacts and a common format and language for these artifacts (using TOSCA).

Goals

• Demonstrate Control loops can be defined and deployed using TOSCA
• Use a design time catalogue for Control Loops for a complete storage of all the artifacts from different DT systems
• Show design time systems can populate the Design Time control loop catalogue

-DCAE-MOD interacting with the design time catalogue

-SDC interacting with the design time catalogue

• Show TOSCA defined control loops being onboarded and deployed

A Release requirement has been defined for this PoC in Rel G: REQ-402

Longterm Roadmap

"Knowledge" is a key component for automation and control loops. 

A common knowledge can be used for Monitor, Analyze, Plan and Execute functions.

In Rel G we want to start to address in a PoC the aspect of the catalogue where multiple ONAP components could be involved in the Design Time phase.

A longterm strategy needs to apply the common "knowledge" concept to the entire Control Loop Lifecycle.
