 implementations implement to receive and send messages to the CLAMP runtime and to handle
 Control Loop Element state.
 
-.. warning:: To be completed
+Terminology
+-----------
+- Broadcast message: a message for all participants (participantId=null and participantType=null)
+- Message to a participant: a message only for a participant (participantId and participantType properly filled)
+- MessageSender: a class that takes care of sending messages from participant-intermediary
+- GUI: graphical user interface, Postman or a Front-End Application
+
+Inbound messages to participants
+--------------------------------
+- PARTICIPANT_REGISTER_ACK: received as a response from controlloop runtime server as an acknowledgement to ParticipantRegister message sent from a participant
+- PARTICIPANT_DEREGISTER_ACK: received as a response from controlloop runtime server as an acknowledgement to ParticipantDeregister message sent from a participant
+- CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE: a message received from controlloop runtime server for a state change of controlloop
+- CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE: a message received from controlloop runtime server for a controlloop update with controlloop instances
+- PARTICIPANT_UPDATE: a message received from controlloop runtime server for a participant update with tosca definitions of controlloop
+- PARTICIPANT_STATUS_REQ: A status request received from controlloop runtime server to send an immediate ParticipantStatus from all participants
+
+Outbound messages
+-----------------
+- PARTICIPANT_REGISTER: is sent by a participant during startup
+- PARTICIPANT_DEREGISTER: is sent by a participant during shutdown
+- PARTICIPANT_STATUS: is sent by a participant as heartbeat with the status and health of a participant
+- CONTROLLOOP_STATECHANGE_ACK: is an acknowledgement sent by a participant as a response to ControlLoopStateChange
+- CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE_ACK: is an acknowledgement sent by a participant as a response to ControlLoopUpdate
+- PARTICIPANT_UPDATE_ACK: is an acknowledgement sent by a participant as a response to ParticipantUpdate
+
+Design of a PARTICIPANT_REGISTER message
+----------------------------------------
+- A participant starts and send a PARTICIPANT_REGISTER message
+- ParticipantRegisterListener collects the message from DMaap
+- if participant is not present in DB, it saves participant reference with status UNKNOWN to DB
+- if participant is present in DB, it triggers the execution to send a PARTICIPANT_UPDATE message to the participant registered (message of Priming)
+- the message is built by ParticipantUpdatePublisher using Tosca Service Template data (to fill the list of ParticipantDefinition)
+- It triggers the execution to send a PARTICIPANT_REGISTER_ACK message to the participant registered
+- MessageIntercept intercepts that event, if PARTICIPANT_UPDATE message has been sent, it will be add a task to handle PARTICIPANT_REGISTER in SupervisionScanner
+- SupervisionScanner starts the monitoring for participantUpdate
+
+Design of a PARTICIPANT_DEREGISTER message
+------------------------------------------
+- A participant starts and send a PARTICIPANT_DEREGISTER message
+- ParticipantDeregisterListener collects the message from DMaap
+- if participant is not present in DB, do nothing
+- if participant is present in DB, it triggers the execution to send a PARTICIPANT_UPDATE message to the participant registered (message of DePriming)
+- the message is built by ParticipantUpdatePublisher using Tosca Service Template data as null
+- ParticipantHandler removes the tosca definitions stored
+- It triggers the execution to send a PARTICIPANT_DEREGISTER_ACK message to the participant registered
+- Participant is not monitored.
+
+Design of a creation of a Control Loop Type
+-------------------------------------------
+- If there are participants registered with CL-runtime, it triggers the execution to send a broadcast PARTICIPANT_UPDATE message
+- the message is built by ParticipantUpdatePublisher using Tosca Service Template data (to fill the list of ParticipantDefinition)
+- Participant-intermediary will receive a PARTICIPANT_UDPATE message and stores the Tosca Service Template data on ParticipantHandler
+
+Design of a deletion of a Control Loop Type
+-------------------------------------------
+- if there are participants registered, CL-runtime triggers the execution to send a broadcast PARTICIPANT_UPDATE message
+- the message is built by ParticipantUpdatePublisher with an empty list of ParticipantDefinition
+- It deletes the Control Loop Type from DB
+- Participant-intermediary will receive a PARTICIPANT_UDPATE message and deletes the Tosca Service Template data on ParticipantHandler
+
+Design of a creation of a Control Loop
+--------------------------------------
+- CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE message with instantiation details and UNINITIALISED state is sent to participants
+- Participant-intermediary validates the current state change
+- Participant-intermediary will recieve CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE message and sends the details of ControlLoopElements to participants
+- Each participant performs its designated job of deployment by interacting with respective frameworks
+
+Design of a deletion of a Control Loop
+--------------------------------------
+- CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE message with UNINITIALISED state is sent to participants
+- Participant-intermediary validates the current state change
+- Participant-intermediary will recieve CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE message and sends the details of ControlLoopElements to participants
+- Each participant performs its designated job of undeployment by interacting with respective frameworks
+
+Design of "issues control loop commands to control loops" - case UNINITIALISED to PASSIVE
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+- CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE message with state changed from UNINITIALISED to PASSIVE is sent to participants
+- Participant-intermediary validates the current state change
+- Participant-intermediary will recieve CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE message and sends the details of state change to participants
+- Each participant performs its designated job of state change by interacting with respective frameworks
+
+Design of "issues control loop commands to control loops" - case PASSIVE to UNINITIALISED
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+- CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE message with state changed from PASSIVE to UNINITIALISED is sent to participants
+- Participant-intermediary validates the current state change
+- Participant-intermediary will recieve CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE message and sends the details of state change to participants
+- Each participant performs its designated job of state change by interacting with respective frameworks
+
+Design of "issues control loop commands to control loops" - case PASSIVE to RUNNING
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+- CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE message with state changed from PASSIVE to RUNNING is sent to participants
+- Participant-intermediary validates the current state change
+- Participant-intermediary will recieve CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE message and sends the details of state change to participants
+- Each participant performs its designated job of state change by interacting with respective frameworks
+
+Design of "issues control loop commands to control loops" - case RUNNING to PASSIVE
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+- CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE message with state changed from RUNNING to PASSIVE is sent to participants
+- Participant-intermediary validates the current state change
+- Participant-intermediary will recieve CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE message and sends the details of state change to participants
+- Each participant performs its designated job of state change by interacting with respective frameworks
+
+Design of a PARTICIPANT_STATUS message
+--------------------------------------
+- A participant sends a scheduled PARTICIPANT_STATUS message
+- This message will hold the state and healthStatus of all the participants running actively
+- PARTICIPANT_STATUS message holds a special attribute to return Tosca definitions, this attribute is populated only in response to PARTICIPANT_STATUS_REQ
+
+Design of a CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE_ACK message
+------------------------------------------
+- A participant sends CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE_ACK message in response to a CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE message.
+- For each CL-elements moved to the ordered state as indicated by the CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE
+- ControlLoopUpdateAckListener in CL-runtime collects the messages from DMaap
+- It checks the status of all control loop elements and checks if the control loop is primed
+- It updates the controlloop in DB accordingly
+
+Design of a CONTROLLOOP_STATECHANGE_ACK is similar to the design for CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE_ACK

 Participant Simulator
 #####################
 
-To be completed.
+This can be used for simulation testing purpose when there are no actual frameworks or a full deployment.
+Participant simulator can edit the states of ControlLoopElements and Participants for verification of other controlloop components
+for early testing.
+All controlloop components should be setup, except participant frameworks (for example, no policy framework components
+are needed) and participant simulator acts as respective participant framework, and state changes can be done with following REST APIs
+
+Participant Simulator API

+CLAMP Participant Protocol Smoke Tests
+---------------------------
+1. Introduction
+***************
+The CLAMP Control Loop Participant protocol is an asynchronous protocol that is used by the CLAMP runtime
+to coordinate life cycle management of Control Loop instances.
+This document will serve as a guide to do smoke tests on the different usecases that are involved when
+working with the Participant protocol and outline how they operate.
+It will also show a developer how to set up their environment for carrying out smoke tests on the participants.
+
+2. Setup Guide
+**************
+This section will show the developer how to set up their environment to start testing participants with some instruction on how to carry out the tests. There are a number of prerequisites. Note that this guide is written by a Linux user - although the majority of the steps show will be exactly the same in Windows or other systems.
+
+2.1 Prerequisites
+=================
+- Java 11
+- Docker
+- Maven 3
+- Git
+- Refer to this guide for basic environment setup `Setting up dev environment <https://wiki.onap.org/display/DW/Setting+Up+Your+Development+Environment>`_
+
+2.2 Setting up the components
+=============================
+- Controlloop runtime component docker image is started and running.
+- Participant docker images policy-clamp-cl-pf-ppnt, policy-clamp-cl-http-ppnt, policy-clamp-cl-k8s-ppnt are started and running.
+- Dmaap simulator for communication between components.
+- mariadb docker container for policy and controlloop database.
+- policy-api for communication between policy participant and policy-framework
+In this setup guide, we will be setting up all the components technically required for a working convenient dev environment. We will not be setting up all of the participants - we will setup only the policy participant as an example.
+
+2.2.1 MariaDB Setup
+===================
+We will be using Docker to run our mariadb instance. It will have a total of two databases running in it.
+- controlloop: the runtime-controlloop db
+- policyadmin: the policy-api db
+
+3. Running Tests of protocol dialogues
+**************************************
+lloop type definitions and common property values for participant types
+In this section, we will run through the functionalities mentioned at the start of this document is section 1. Each functionality will be tested and we will confirm that they were carried out successfully. There is a tosca service template that can be used for this test
+:download:`Tosca Service Template <tosca/tosca-for-gui-smoke-tests.yaml>`
+
+3.1 Participant Registration
+============================
+Action: Bring up the participant
+Test result:
+- Observe PARTICIPANT_REGISTER going from participant to runtime
+- Observe PARTICIPANT_REGISTER_ACK going from runtime to participant
+- Observe PARTICIPANT_UPDATE going from runtime to participant
+
+3.2 Participant Deregistration
+==============================
+Action: Bring down the participant
+Test result:
+- Observe PARTICIPANT_DEREGISTER going from participant to runtime
+- Observe PARTICIPANT_DEREGISTER_ACK going from runtime to participant
+
+3.3 Participant Priming
+=======================
+When a control loop is primed, the portion of the Control Loop Type Definition and Common Property values for the participants
+of each participant type mentioned in the Control Loop Definition are sent to the participants.
+Action: Invoke a REST API to prime controlloop type definitions and set values of common properties
+Test result:
+- Observe PARTICIPANT_UPDATE going from runtime to participant with controlloop type definitions and common property values for participant types
+- Observe that the controlloop type definitions and common property values for participant types are stored on ParticipantHandler
+- Observe PARTICIPANT_UPDATE_ACK going from runtime to participant
+
+3.4 Participant DePriming
+=========================
+When a control loop is de-primed, the portion of the Control Loop Type Definition and Common Property values for the participants
+of each participant type mentioned in the Control Loop Definition are deleted on participants.
+Action: Invoke a REST API to deprime controlloop type definitions
+Test result:
+- If controlloop instances exist in runtime database, return a response for the REST API with error response saying "Cannot decommission controlloop type definition"
+- If no controlloop instances exist in runtime database, Observe PARTICIPANT_UPDATE going from runtime to participant with definitions as null
+- Observe that the controlloop type definitions and common property values for participant types are removed on ParticipantHandler
+- Observe PARTICIPANT_UPDATE_ACK going from runtime to participant
+
+3.5 Control Loop Update
+=======================
+Control Loop Update handles creation, change, and deletion of control loops on participants.
+Action: Trigger controlloop instantiation from GUI
+Test result:
+- Observe CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE going from runtime to participant
+- Observe that the controlloop type instances and respective property values for participant types are stored on ControlLoopHandler
+- Observe that the controlloop state is UNINITIALISED
+- Observe CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE_ACK going from participant to runtime
+
+3.6 Control Loop state change to PASSIVE
+========================================
+Control Loop Update handles creation, change, and deletion of control loops on participants.
+Action: Change state of the controlloop to PASSIVE
+Test result:
+- Observe CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE going from runtime to participant
+- Observe that the ControlLoopElements state is PASSIVE
+- Observe that the controlloop state is PASSIVE
+- Observe CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE_ACK going from participant to runtime
+
+3.7 Control Loop state change to RUNNING
+========================================
+Control Loop Update handles creation, change, and deletion of control loops on participants.
+Action: Change state of the controlloop to RUNNING
+Test result:
+- Observe CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE going from runtime to participant
+- Observe that the ControlLoopElements state is RUNNING
+- Observe that the controlloop state is RUNNING
+- Observe CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE_ACK going from participant to runtime
+
+3.8 Control Loop state change to PASSIVE
+========================================
+Control Loop Update handles creation, change, and deletion of control loops on participants.
+Action: Change state of the controlloop to PASSIVE
+Test result:
+- Observe CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE going from runtime to participant
+- Observe that the ControlLoopElements state is PASSIVE
+- Observe that the controlloop state is PASSIVE
+- Observe CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE_ACK going from participant to runtime
+
+3.9 Control Loop state change to UNINITIALISED
+==============================================
+Control Loop Update handles creation, change, and deletion of control loops on participants.
+Action: Change state of the controlloop to UNINITIALISED
+Test result:
+- Observe CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE going from runtime to participant
+- Observe that the ControlLoopElements state is UNINITIALISED
+- Observe that the controlloop state is UNINITIALISED
+- Observe that the ControlLoopElements undeploy the instances from respective frameworks
+- Observe that the control loop instances are removed from participants
+- Observe CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE_ACK going from participant to runtime
+
+3.10 Control Loop monitoring and reporting
+==========================================
+This dialogue is used as a heartbeat mechanism for participants, to monitor the status of Control Loop Elements, and to gather statistics on control loops. The ParticipantStatus message is sent periodically by each participant. The reporting interval for sending the message is configurable
+Action: Bring up participant
+Test result:
+- Observe that PARTICIPANT_STATUS message is sent from participants to runtime in a regular interval
+- Trigger a PARTICIPANT_STATUS_REQ from runtime and observe a PARTICIPANT_STATUS message with tosca definitions of control loop type definitions sent
+from all the participants to runtime
+
+This concluded the required smoke tests
