+Consumed APIs
+=============================================
+The following are the dependencies for CMSO project.
+
+
+SO (Dublin)
+--------------------------------------------
+
+CMSO is designed to invoke SO API to
+
+ * Submit change management work flow requests
+ * Poll for status of submitted requests
+
+
+Schedule Optimizer with Conflict Avoidance (Dublin)
+-------------------------------------------------------
+
+There is currently no schedule optmizer that implements conflict avoidance.
+Conflict avoidance requires:
+
+ * Vertical topology assets relevant the availability of the VNF(s) under consideration.
+
+ * Within ONAP topology information is available in A&AI
+
+ * Horizontal topology assets ???
+
+ * Availability of the VNFs and the availability of the assets identified in the previous items.
+ This generally requires a change management
+ tracking/ticketing system system that identifies scheduled changes to all assets that contribute to the
+ functioning of the network.
+
+ * There is no change management ticketing system within ONAP. CMSO itself may serve as such in a very limited capacity as it
+ tracks scheduled changes to VNFs. It does not track changes the all network assets which is necessarilty required for full
+ conflict avoidance. For ONAP Dublin, the conflict avoidance will necessarily be limited to VNF level conflict
+ checking using CMSO as the source of asset avaialability/unavailability.
+
+
+Change Management Ticketing System (TBD)
