+TOSCA Defined Automation Compositions: Architecture and Design
+##############################################################
+
+
+.. contents::
+ :depth: 4
+
+The idea of using automation compositions to automatically (or autonomously) perform network management
+has been the subject of much research in the Network Management research community, see
+:download:`this paper <files/Acms.pdf>` for some background. However, it is only with
+the advent of ONAP that we have a platform that supports automation compositions for network management.
+Before ONAP, Automation Compositions have been implemented by hard-coding components together and hard
+coding logic into components. ONAP has taken a step forward towards automatic implementation
+of Automation Compositions by allowing parameterization of Automation Compositions that work on the premise that
+the Automation Compositions use a set of analytic, policy, and control components connected together in
+set ways.
+
+The goal of the work is to extend and enhance the current ONAP Automation Composition support to provide
+a complete open-source framework for Automation Compositions. This will enhance the current support to
+provide TOSCA based Automation Composition definition and development, commissioning and run-time management.
+The participants that comprise a Automation Composition and the metadata needed to link the participants
+together to create a Automation Composition are specified in a standardized way using the `OASIS TOSCA
+modelling language <http://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML/>`_. The TOSCA
+description is then used to commission, instantiate, and manage the Automation Compositions in the run
+time system.
+
+.. image:: images/01-acm-overview.png
+
+1 Terminology
+=============
+
+This section describes the terminology used in the system.
+
+1.1 Automation Composition Terminology
+--------------------------------------
+
+**Automation Composition Type:** A definition of a Automation Composition in the TOSCA language. This definition describes
+a certain type of a automation composition. The life cycle of instances of a Automation Composition Type are managed
+by CLAMP.
+
+**Automation Composition Instance:** An instance of a Automation Composition Type. The life cycle of a Automation Composition
+Instance is managed by CLAMP. A Automation Composition Instance is a set of executing elements on which
+Life Cycle Management (LCM) is executed collectively. For example, a set of microservices may be
+spawned and executed together to deliver a service. This collection of services is a automation composition.
+
+**Automation Composition Element Type:** A definition of a Automation Composition Element in the TOSCA language. This
+definition describes a certain type of Automation Composition Element for a automation composition in a Automation
+Composition Type.
+
+**Automation Composition Element Instance:** A single entity executing on a participant, with its Life Cycle
+being managed as part of the overall automation composition. For example, a single microservice that is
+executing as one microservice in a service.
+
+**CLAMP Automation Composition Runtime:** The CLAMP server that holds Automation Composition Type definitions and manages
+the life cycle of Automation Composition Instances and their Automation Composition Elements in cooperation with
+participants.
+
+
+1.2 Participant Terminology
+---------------------------
+
+**Participant Type:** Definition of a type of system or framework that can take part in control
+loops and a definition of the capabilities of that participant type. A participant advertises
+its type to the CLAMP Automation Composition Runtime.
+
+**Participant:** A system or framework that takes part in automation compositions by executing Automation Composition
+Elements in cooperation with the CLAMP Automation Composition Runtime. A participant chooses to partake
+in automation compositions, to manage Automation Composition Elements for CLAMP, and to receive, send and act on
+LCM messages for the CLAMP runtime.
+
+1.3 Terminology for Properties
+------------------------------
+
+**Common Properties:** Properties that apply to all Automation Composition Instances of a certain Automation
+Composition Type and are specified when a Automation Composition Type is commissioned.
+
+**Instance Specific Properties:** Properties that must be specified for each Automation Composition Instance
+and are specified when a Automation Composition Instance is Initialized.
+
+1.4 Concepts and their relationships
+------------------------------------
+
+The UML diagram below shows the concepts described in the terminology sections above and how
+they are interrelated.
+
+.. image:: images/02-acm-concepts.png
+
+The Automation Composition Definition concepts describe the types of things that are in the system. These
+concepts are defined at design time and are passed to the runtime in a TOSCA document. The
+concepts in the Automation Composition Runtime are created by the runtime part of the system using the
+definitions created at design time.
+
+.. _acm-capabilities:
+
+2 Capabilities
+==============
+
+We consider the capabilities of Automation Compositions at Design Time and Run Time.
+
+At Design Time, three capabilities are supported:
+
+#. **Automation Composition Element Definition Specification.** This capability allows users to define Automation
+ Composition Element Types and the metadata that can be used on and configured on a Automation Composition Element
+ Type. Users also define the Participant Type that will run the Automation Composition Element when it is
+ taking part in in a automation composition. The post condition of an execution of this capability is that
+ metadata for a Automation Composition Element Type is defined in the Automation Composition Design Time Catalogue.
+
+#. **Automation Composition Element Definition Onboarding.** This capability allows external users and systems
+ (such as SDC or DCAE-MOD) to define the metadata that can be used on and configured on a Automation
+ Composition Element Type and to define the Participant Type that will run the Automation Composition Element when
+ it is taking part in in a automation composition. The post condition of an execution of this capability
+ is that metadata for a Automation Composition Element Type is defined in the Automation Composition Design Time
+ Catalogue.
+
+#. **Automation Composition Type Definition.** This capability allows users and other systems to create Automation
+ Composition Type definitions by specifying a set of Automation Composition Element Definitions from those that
+ are available in the Automation Composition Design Time Catalogue. These Automation Composition Elements will
+ work together to form Automation Compositions. In an execution of this capability, a user specifies the
+ metadata for the Automation Composition and specifies the set of Automation Composition Elements and their Participant
+ Types. The user also selects the correct metadata sets for each participant in the Automation Composition
+ Type and defines the overall Automation Composition Type metadata. The user also specifies the Common
+ Property Types that apply to all instances of a automation composition type and the Instance Specific
+ Property Types that apply to individual instances of a Automation Composition Type. The post condition for
+ an execution of this capability is a Automation Composition definition in TOSCA stored in the Automation Composition
+ Design Time Catalogue.
+
+.. note::
+ Once a Automation Composition Definition is commissioned to the Automation Composition Runtime and has been
+ stored in the Run Time Inventory, it cannot be further edited unless it is decommissioned.
+
+
+At Run Time, the following participant related capabilities are supported:
+
+#. **System Pre-Configuration.** This capability allows participants to register and deregister
+ with CLAMP. Participants explicitly register with CLAMP when they start. Automation Composition Priming
+ is performed on each participant once it registers. The post condition for an execution of this
+ capability is that a participant becomes available (registration) or is no longer available
+ (deregistration) for participation in a automation composition.
+
+#. **Automation Composition Priming on Participants.** A participant is primed to support a Automation Composition Type.
+ Priming a participant means that the definition of a automation composition and the values of Common
+ Property Types that apply to all instances of a automation composition type on a participant are sent
+ to a participant. The participant can then take whatever actions it need to do to support
+ the automation composition type in question. Automation Composition Priming takes place at participant
+ registration and at Automation Composition Commissioning. The post condition for an execution of this
+ capability is that all participants in this automation composition type are commissioned, that is they
+ are prepared to run instances of their Automation Composition Element types.
+
+
+At Run Time, the following Automation Composition Life Cycle management capabilities are supported:
+
+#. **Automation Composition Commissioning:** This capability allows version controlled Automation Composition Type
+ definitions to be taken from the Automation Composition Design Time Catalogue and be placed in the
+ Commissioned Automation Composition Inventory. It also allows the values of Common Property Types
+ that apply to all instances of a Automation Composition Type to be set. Further, the Automation Composition
+ Type is primed on all concerned participants. The post condition for an execution of this
+ capability is that the Automation Composition Type definition is in the Commissioned Automation Composition
+ Inventory and the Automation Composition Type is primed on concerned participants.
+
+#. **Automation Composition Instance Life Cycle Management:** This capability allows a Automation Composition
+ Instance to have its life cycle managed.
+
+ #. **Automation Composition Instance Creation:** This capability allows a Automation Composition Instance to be
+ created. The Automation Composition Type definition is read from the Commissioned Automation Composition
+ Inventory and values are assigned to the Instance Specific Property Types defined for
+ instances of the Automation Composition Type in the same manner as the existing CLAMP client does.
+ A Automation Composition Instance that has been created but has not yet been instantiated on
+ participants is in state UNINITIALIZED. In this state, the Instance Specific Property Type
+ values can be revised and updated as often as the user requires. The post condition for an
+ execution of this capability is that the Automation Composition instance is created in the
+ Instantiated Automation Composition Inventory but has not been instantiated on Participants.
+
+ #. **Automation Composition Instance Update on Participants:** Once the user is happy with the property
+ values, the Automation Composition Instance is updated on participants and the Automation Composition Elements
+ for this Automation Composition Instance are initialized or updated by participants using the control
+ loop metadata. The post condition for an execution of this capability is that the Automation
+ Composition instance is updated on Participants.
+
+ #. **Automation Composition State Change:** The user can now order the participants to change the state
+ of the Automation Composition Instance. If the Automation Composition is set to state RUNNING, each participant
+ begins accepting and processing automation composition events and the Automation Composition Instance is set
+ to state RUNNING in the Instantiated Automation Composition inventory. The post condition for an
+ execution of this capability is that the Automation Composition instance state is changed on
+ participants.
+
+ #. **Automation Composition Instance Monitoring:** This capability allows Automation Composition Instances to be
+ monitored. Users can check the status of Participants, Automation Composition Instances, and Automation
+ Composition Elements. Participants report their overall status and the status of Automation Composition
+ Elements they are running periodically to CLAMP. Clamp aggregates these status reports
+ into an aggregated Automation Composition Instance status record, which is available for monitoring.
+ The post condition for an execution of this capability is that Automation Composition Instances are
+ being monitored.
+
+ #. **Automation Composition Instance Supervision:** This capability allows Automation Composition Instances to be
+ supervised. The CLAMP runtime expects participants to report on Automation Composition Elements
+ periodically. The CLAMP runtime checks that periodic reports are received and that each
+ Automation Composition Element is in the state it should be in. If reports are missed or if a
+ Automation Composition Element is in an incorrect state, remedial action is taken and notifications
+ are issued. The post condition for an execution of this capability is that Automation Composition
+ Instances are being supervised by the CLAMP runtime.
+
+ #. **Automation Composition Instance Removal from Participants:** A user can order the removal of a Automation
+ Composition Instance from participants. The post condition for an execution of this capability is
+ that the Automation Composition instance is removed from Participants.
+
+ #. **Automation Composition Instance Deletion:** A user can order the removal of a Automation Composition Instance
+ from the CLAMP runtime. Automation Composition Instances that are instantiated on participants cannot
+ be removed from the CLAMP runtime. The post condition for an execution of this capability
+ is that the Automation Composition instance is removed from Instantiated Automation Composition Inventory.
+
+#. **Automation Composition Decommissioning:** This capability allows version controlled Automation Composition Type
+ definitions to be removed from the Commissioned Automation Composition Inventory. A Automation Composition
+ Definition that has instances in the Instantiated Automation Composition Inventory cannot be removed.
+ The post condition for an execution of this capability is that the Automation Composition Type
+ definition removed from the Commissioned Automation Composition Inventory.
+
+.. note::
+ The system dialogues for run time capabilities are described in detail on the
+ :ref:`System Level Dialogues <system-level-label>` page.
+
+.. _acm-instance-states:
+
+2.1 Automation Composition Instance States
+------------------------------------------
+
+When a automation composition definition has been commissioned, instances of the automation composition can be
+created, updated, and deleted. The system manages the lifecycle of automation compositions and control
+loop elements following the state transition diagram below.
+
+.. image:: images/03-acm-instance-states.png
+
+3 Overall Target Architecture
+=============================
+
+The diagram below shows an overview of the architecture of TOSCA based Automation Composition
+Management in CLAMP.
+
+.. image:: images/04-overview.png
+
+Following the ONAP Reference Architecture, the architecture has a Design Time part and
+a Runtime part.
+
+The Design Time part of the architecture allows a user to specify metadata for participants.
+It also allows users to compose automation compositions. The Design Time Catalogue contains the metadata
+primitives and automation composition definition primitives for composition of automation compositions. As shown
+in the figure above, the Design Time component provides a system where Automation Compositions can be
+designed and defined in metadata. This means that a Automation Composition can have any arbitrary
+structure and the Automation Composition developers can use whatever analytic, policy, or control
+participants they like to implement their Automation Composition. At composition time, the user
+parameterises the Automation Composition and stores it in the design time catalogue. This catalogue
+contains the primitive metadata for any participants that can be used to compose a Automation
+Composition. A Automation Composition SDK is used to compose a Automation Composition by aggregating the metadata for
+the participants chosen to be used in a Automation Composition and by constructing the references between
+the participants. The architecture of the Automation Composition Design Time part will be elaborated in
+future releases.
+
+Composed Automation Compositions are commissioned on the run time part of the system, where they are
+stored in the Commissioned Automation Composition inventory and are available for instantiation. The
+Commissioning component provides a CRUD REST interface for Automation Composition Types, and implements
+CRUD of Automation Composition Types. Commissioning also implements validation and persistence of incoming
+Automation Composition Types. It also guarantees the integrity of updates and deletions of Automation Composition
+Types, such as performing updates in accordance with semantic versioning rules and ensuring that
+deletions are not allowed on Automation Composition Types that have instances defined.
+
+The Instantiation component manages the Life Cycle Management of Automation Composition Instances and
+their Automation Composition Elements. It publishes a REST interface that is used to create Automation Composition
+Instances and set values for Common and Instance Specific properties. This REST interface is
+public and is used by the CLAMP GUI. It may also be used by any other client via the public
+REST interface. the REST interface also allows the state of Automation Composition Instances to be changed.
+A user can change the state of Automation Composition Instances as described in the state transition
+diagram shown in section 2 above. The Instantiation component issues update and state change
+messages via DMaaP to participants so that they can update and manage the state of the Automation
+Composition Elements they are responsible for. The Instantiation component also implements persistence
+of Automation Composition Instances, automation composition elements, and their state changes.
+
+The Monitoring component reads updates sent by participants. Participants report on the
+state of their Automation Composition Elements periodically and in response to a message they have
+received from the Instantiation component. The Monitoring component reads the contents of
+the participant messages and persists their state updates and statistics records. It also
+publishes a REST interface that publishes the current state of all Participants, Automation
+Composition Instances and their Automation Composition Elements, as well as publishing Participant and
+Automation Composition statistics.
+
+The Supervision component is responsible for checking that Automation Composition Instances are correctly
+instantiated and are in the correct state (UNINITIALIZED/READY/RUNNING). It also handles
+timeouts and on state changes to Automation Composition Instances, and retries and rolls back state
+changes where state changes failed.
+
+A Participant is an executing component that partakes in automation compositions. More explicitly, a
+Participant is something that implements the Participant Instantiation and Participant
+Monitoring messaging protocol over DMaaP for Life Cycle management of Automation Composition Elements.
+A Participant runs Automation Composition Elements and manages and reports on their life cycle
+following the instructions it gets from the CLAMP runtime in messages delivered over DMaaP.
+
+In the figure above, five participants are shown. A Configuration Persistence Participant
+manages Automation Composition Elements that interact with the `ONAP Configuration Persistence Service
+<https://docs.onap.org/projects/onap-cps/en/latest/overview.html>`_
+to store common data. The DCAE Participant runs Automation Composition Elements that manage DCAE
+microservices. The Kubernetes Participant hosts the Automation Composition Elements that are managing
+the life cycle of microservices in automation compositions that are in a Kubernetes ecosystem. The
+Policy Participant handles the Automation Composition Elements that interact with the Policy Framework
+to manage policies for automation compositions. A Automation Participant such as the CDS Participant
+runs Automation Composition Elements that load metadata and configure controllers so that they can
+partake in automation compositions. Any third party Existing System Participant can be developed to
+run Automation Composition Elements that interact with any existing system (such as an operator's
+analytic, machine learning, or artificial intelligence system) so that those systems can
+partake in automation compositions.
+
+4. Other Considerations
+=======================
+
+.. _management-cl-instance-configs:
+
+4.1 Management of Automation Composition Instance Configurations
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+In order to keep management of versions of the configuration of automation composition instances
+straightforward and easy to implement, the following version management scheme using
+semantic versioning is implemented. Each configuration of a Automation Composition Instance and
+configuration of a Automation Composition Element has a semantic version with 3 digits indicating
+the **major.minor.patch** number of the version.
+
+.. note::
+ A **configuration** means a full set of parameter values for a Automation Composition Instance.
+
+.. image:: images/05-upgrade-states.png
+
+Change constraints:
+
+#. A Automation Composition or Automation Composition Element in state **RUNNING** can be changed to a higher patch
+ level or rolled back to a lower patch level. This means that hot changes that do not
+ impact the structure of a Automation Composition or its elements can be executed.
+
+#. A Automation Composition or Automation Composition Element in state **PASSIVE** can be changed to a higher
+ minor/patch level or rolled back to a lower minor/patch level. This means that structural
+ changes to Automation Composition Elements that do not impact the Automation Composition as a whole can be
+ executed by taking the automation composition to state **PASSIVE**.
+
+#. A Automation Composition or Automation Composition Element in state **UNINITIALIZED** can be changed to a higher
+ major/minor/patch level or rolled back to a lower major/minor/patch level. This means
+ that where the structure of the entire automation composition is changed, the automation composition must
+ be uninitialized and reinitialized.
+
+#. If a Automation Composition Element has a **minor** version change, then its Automation Composition Instance
+ must have at least a **minor** version change.
+
+#. If a Automation Composition Element has a **major** version change, then its Automation Composition Instance
+ must have a **major** version change.
+
+4.2 Scalability
+---------------
+
+The system is designed to be inherently scalable. The CLAMP runtime is stateless, all state
+is preserved in the Instantiated Automation Composition inventory in the database. When the user
+requests an operation such as an instantiation, activation, passivation, or an uninitialization
+on a Automation Composition Instance, the CLAMP runtime broadcasts the request to participants over
+DMaaP and saves details of the request to the database. The CLAMP runtime does not directly
+wait for responses to requests.
+
+When a request is broadcast on DMaaP, the request is asynchronously picked up by participants
+of the types required for the Automation Composition Instance and those participants manage the life
+cycle of its automation composition elements. Periodically, each participant reports back on the status
+of operations it has picked up for the Automation Composition Elements it controls, together with
+statistics on the Automation Composition Elements over DMaaP. On reception of these participant messages,
+the CLAMP runtime stores this information to its database.
+
+The participant to use on a automation composition can be selected from the registered participants
+in either of two ways:
+
+**Runtime-side Selection:** The CLAMP runtime selects a suitable participant from the list of
+participants and sends the participant ID that should be used in the Participant Update message.
+In this case, the CLAMP runtime decides on which participant will run the Automation Composition Element
+based on a suitable algorithm. Algorithms could be round robin based or load based.
+
+**Participant-side Selection:** The CLAMP runtime sends a list of Participant IDs that may be used
+in the Participant Update message. In this case, the candidate participants decide among
+themselves which participant should host the Automation Composition Element.
+
+This approach makes it easy to scale Automation Composition life cycle management. As Automation Composition
+Instance counts increase, more than one CLAMP runtime can be deployed and REST/supervision
+operations on Automation Composition Instances can run in parallel. The number of participants can
+scale because an asynchronous broadcast mechanism is used for runtime-participant communication
+and there is no direct connection or communication channel between participants and CLAMP
+runtime servers. Participant state, Automation Composition Instance state, and Automation Composition Element
+state is held in the database, so any CLAMP runtime server can handle operations for any
+participant. Because many participants of a particular type can be deployed and participant
+instances can load balance automation composition element instances for different Automation Composition Instances
+of many types across themselves using a mechanism such as a Kubernetes cluster.
+
+
+4.3 Sandboxing and API Gateway Support
+--------------------------------------
+
+At runtime, interaction between ONAP platform services and application microservices are
+relatively unconstrained, so interactions between Automation Composition Elements for a given Automation
+Composition Instance remain relatively unconstrained. A
+`proposal to support access-controlled access to and between ONAP services
+<https://wiki.onap.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=103417456>`_
+will improve this. This can be complemented by intercepting and controlling services
+accesses between Automation Composition Elements for Automation Composition Instances for some/all Automation
+Composition types.
+
+API gateways such as `Kong <https://konghq.com/kong/>`_ have emerged as a useful technology
+for exposing and controlling service endpoint access for applications and services. When a
+Automation Composition Type is onboarded, or when Automation Composition Instances are created in the Participants,
+CLAMP can configure service endpoints between Automation Composition Elements to redirect through an
+API Gateway.
+
+Authentication and access-control rules can then be dynamically configured at the API gateway
+to support constrained access between Automation Composition Elements and Automation Composition Instances.
+
+The diagram below shows the approach for configuring API Gateway access at Automation Composition
+Instance and Automation Composition Element level.
+
+.. image:: images/06-api-gateway-sandbox.png
+
+At design time, the Automation Composition type definition specifies the type of API gateway configuration
+that should be supported at Automation Composition and Automation Composition Element levels.
+
+At runtime, the CLAMP can configure the API gateway to enable (or deny) interactions between
+Automation Composition Instances and individually for each Automation Composition Element. All service-level
+interactions in/out of a Automation Composition Element, except that to/from the API Gateway, can be
+blocked by networking policies, thus sandboxing a Automation Composition Element and an entire Automation
+Composition Instance if desired. Therefore, a Automation Composition Element will only have access to the APIs
+that are configured and enabled for the Automation Composition Element/Instance in the API gateway.
+
+For some Automation Composition Element Types the Participant can assist with service endpoint
+reconfiguration, service request/response redirection to/from the API Gateway, or
+annotation of requests/responses.
+
+Once the Automation Composition instance is instantiated on participants, the participants configure
+the API gateway with the Automation Composition Instance level configuration and with the specific
+configuration for their Automation Composition Element.
+
+Monitoring and logging of the use of the API gateway may also be provided. Information and
+statistics on API gateway use can be read from the API gateway and passed back in monitoring
+messages to the CLAMP runtime.
+
+Additional isolation and execution-environment sandboxing can be supported depending on the
+Automation Composition Element Type. For example: ONAP policies for given Automation Composition Instances/Types
+can be executed in a dedicated PDP engine instances; DCAE or K8S-hosted services can executed
+in isolated namespaces or in dedicated workers/clusters; etc..

+The ACM Automation Composition Participant Protocol
+###################################################
+
+The CLAMP Automation Composition protocol is an asynchronous protocol that is used by the CLAMP
+runtime to coordinate lifecycle management of Automation Composition instances. The protocol
+supports the functions described in the sections below.
+
+
+Protocol Dialogues
+==================
+
+The protocol supports the dialogues described below.
+
+Participant Registration and De-Registration
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Registration when a participant comes up and update of participant with Automation Composition type
+information and common parameter values for its Automation Composition types.
+
+.. image:: ../images/acm-participants-protocol/participant-registering.png
+
+
+De-registration is executed as a participant goes down.
+
+.. image:: ../images/acm-participants-protocol/participant-deregistration.png
+
+
+Automation Composition Priming and De-Priming
+---------------------------------------------
+
+When an Automation Composition is primed, the portion of the Automation Composition Type Definition
+and Common Property values for the participants of each participant type mentioned in the
+Automation Composition Definition are sent to the participants.
+
+.. image:: ../images/acm-participants-protocol/acm-priming.png
+
+When an Automation Composition is de-primed, the portion of the Automation Composition Type
+Definition and Common Property values for the participants of each participant type mentioned in
+the Automation Composition Definition are deleted on participants.
+
+.. image:: ../images/acm-participants-protocol/acm-depriming.png
+
+
+Automation Composition Update
+-----------------------------
+
+Automation Composition Update handles creation, change, and deletion of Automation Compositions on
+participants. Change of Automation Compositions uses a semantic versioning approach and follows the
+semantics described on the page :ref:`4.1 Management of Automation Composition Instance
+Configurations <management-acm-instance-configs>`.
+
+.. image:: ../images/acm-participants-protocol/acm-update.png
+
+The handling of an *ACMUpdate* message in each participant is as shown below.
+
+.. image:: ../images/acm-participants-protocol/acm-update-msg.png
+
+Automation Composition State Change
+-----------------------------------
+
+This dialogue is used to change the state of Automation Compositions and their Automation
+Composition Elements. The CLAMP Runtime sends an Automation Composition State Change message on the
+Automation Composition to all participants. Participants that have Automation Composition Elements
+in that Automation Composition attempt an update on the state of the Automation Composition
+elements they have for that Automation Composition, and report the result back.
+
+The *startPhase* in the `Definition of TOSCA fundamental Automation Composition Types
+<https://github.com/onap/policy-clamp/blob/master/common/src/main/resources/tosca/AutomationCompositionTOSCAServiceTemplateTypes.yaml>`_
+is particularly important in Automation Composition state changes because sometimes the user wishes
+to control the order in which the state changes in Automation Composition Elements in an Automation
+Composition. In-state changes from *UNITITIALISED → PASSIVE* and from *PASSIVE → RUNNING*,
+Automation Composition elements are started in increasing order of their startPhase. In-state
+changes from *RUNNING → PASSIVE* and from *PASSIVE → UNITITIALISED*, Automation Composition
+elements are started in decreasing order of their *startPhase*.
+
+The CLAMP runtime controls the state change process described in the diagram below. The CLAMP
+runtime sends an Automation Composition state change message on DMaaP to all participants in a
+particular start phase so, in each state change multiple Automation Composition State Change
+messages are sent, one for each start phase in the Automation Composition. If more than one
+Automation Composition Element has the same start phase, those Automation Composition Elements
+receive the same Automation Composition State Change message from DMaaP and start in parallel.
+
+The Participant reads each State Change Message it sees on DMaaP. If the start phase on the
+Automation Composition State Change message matches the Start Phase of the Automation Composition
+Element, the participant processes the state change message. Otherwise, the participant ignores the
+message.
+
+.. image:: ../images/acm-participants-protocol/acm-state-change.png
+
+The handling of an ACMStateChange message in each participant is as shown below.
+
+.. image:: ../images/acm-participants-protocol/acm-state-change-msg.png
+
+Automation Composition Monitoring and Reporting
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+This dialogue is used as a heartbeat mechanism for participants, to monitor the status of
+Automation Composition Elements, and to gather statistics on Automation Compositions. The
+*ParticipantStatus* message is sent periodically by each participant. The reporting interval for
+sending the message is configurable.
+
+.. image:: ../images/acm-participants-protocol/acm-monitoring.png
+
+
+Messages

+
+The CLAMP Automation Composition Participant Protocol uses the following messages. The
+descriptions below give an overview of each message. For the precise definition of the messages,
+see the `CLAMP code at Github
+<https://github.com/onap/policy-clamp/tree/master/models/src/main/java/org/onap/policy/clamp/models/acm/messages/dmaap/participant>`_

+Defining Automation Compositions in TOSCA for CLAMP
+###################################################
+
+
+.. contents::
+ :depth: 4
+
+
+A Automation Composition Type is defined in a TOSCA service template. A TOSCA Service Template has
+two parts: a definition part in the service template itself, which contains the definitions
+of concepts that can be used to define the types of concepts that can appear on a Toplogy
+Template and a Topology Template that defines a topology. See the `Oasis Open TOSCA
+<https://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML/v1.3/>`_ web page
+for more details on TOSCA.
+
+Unsurprisingly, to define a Automation Composition Type in TOSCA, of Automation Composition related concepts
+that we can use in all automation compositions exist. They are described in Section 1. Section 2
+describes how properties are managed. Properties are the configuration parameters that are
+provided to Automation Compositions and the Automation Composition Elements they use. Section 3 describes how to
+define a Automation Composition using the predefined Automation Composition concepts.
+
+
+1 Standard TOSCA Service Template Concepts for Automation Compositions
+======================================================================
+
+These concepts are the base concepts available to users who write definitions for automation
+compositions in TOSCA. TOSCA automation composition definitions are written using these concepts.
+
+1.1 Fundamental TOSCA Concepts for Automation Compositions
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+The following TOSCA concepts are the fundamental concepts in a TOSCA Service Template for
+defining automation compositions.
+
+.. image:: images/defining-acms/fundamental-concepts.png
+
+The TOSCA concepts above may be declared in the TOSCA Service Template of a automation composition.
+If the concepts already exist in the Design Time Catalogue or the Runtime Inventory, they
+may be omitted from a TOSCA service template that defines a automation composition type.
+
+The *start_phase* is a value indicating the start phase in which this automation composition element
+will be started, the first start phase is zero. Automation Composition Elements are started in their
+start_phase order and stopped in reverse start phase order. Automation Composition Elements with the
+same start phase are started and stopped simultaneously.
+
+The Yaml file that holds the Definition of `TOSCA fundamental Automation Composition Types is available in Github
+<https://github.com/onap/policy-clamp/blob/master/common/src/main/resources/tosca/AutomationCompositionTOSCAServiceTemplateTypes.yaml>`_
+and is the canonical definition of the Automation Composition concepts.

+
+1.2.1 Policy Automation Composition Element
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Policy Participant runs Policy Automation Composition Elements. Each Policy Automation Composition Element
+manages the deployment of the policy specified in the Policy Automation Composition Element definition.
+The Yaml file that holds the `Policy Automation Composition Element Type definition is available in Github
+<https://github.com/onap/policy-clamp/blob/master/common/src/main/resources/tosca/PolicyAutomationCompositionElementType.yaml>`_
+and is the canonical definition of the Policy Automation Composition Element type. For a description of
+the Policy Automation Composition Element and Policy Participant, please see `The CLAMP Policy Framework
+Participant <#>`_ page.
+
+1.2.2 HTTP Automation Composition Element
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The HTTP Participant runs HTTP Automation Composition Elements. Each HTTP Automation Composition Element manages
+REST communication towards a REST endpoint using the REST calls a user has specified in the
+configuration of the HTTP Automation Composition Element. The Yaml file that holds the
+`HTTP Automation Composition Element Type definition is available in Github
+<https://github.com/onap/policy-clamp/blob/master/common/src/main/resources/tosca/PolicyAutomationCompositionElementType.yaml>`_
+and is the canonical definition of the HTTP Automation Composition Element type. For a description of
+the HTTP Automation Composition Element and HTTP Participant, please see `The CLAMP HTTP Participant <#>`_ page.
+
+.. _kubernetes-acm-element:
+
+1.2.3 Kubernetes Automation Composition Element
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The Kubernetes Participant runs Kubernetes Automation Composition Elements. Each Kubernetes Automation Composition
+Element manages a Kubernetes microservice using Helm. The user defines the Helm chart for the
+Kubernetes microservice as well as other properties that the microservice requires in order to
+execute. The Yaml file that holds the
+`Kubernetes Automation Composition Element Type defintion is available in Github
+<https://github.com/onap/policy-clamp/blob/master/common/src/main/resources/tosca/KubernetesAutomationCompositionElementType.yaml>`_
+and is the canonical definition of the Kubernetes Automation Composition Element type. For a description
+of the Kubernetes Automation Composition Element and Kubernetes Participant,please see
+`The CLAMP Kubernetes Participant <#>`_ page.
+
+
+2 Common and Instance Specific Properties
+=========================================
+
+Properties are used to define the configuration for Automation Compositions and Automation Composition Elements.
+At design time, the types, constraints, and descriptions of the properties are specified.
+The values for properties are specified in the CLAMP GUI at runtime. TOSCA provides support
+for defining properties, see `Section 3.6.10: TOSCA Property Definition
+<https://docs.oasis-open.org/tosca/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML/v1.3/os/TOSCA-Simple-Profile-YAML-v1.3-os.html#DEFN_ELEMENT_PROPERTY_DEFN>`_
+in the TOSCA documentation.
+
+2.1 Terminology for Properties
+------------------------------
+
+**Property:** Metadata defined in TOSCA that is associated with a Automation Composition, a Automation
+Composition Element, or a Participant.
+
+**TOSCA Property Type:** The TOSCA definition of the type of a property. A property can have
+a generic type such as string or integer or can have a user defined TOSCA data type.
+
+**TOSCA Property Value:** The value of a Property Type. Property values are assigned at run
+time in CLAMP.
+
+**Common Property Type:** Property Types that apply to all instances of a Automation Composition Type.
+
+**Common Property Value:** The value of a Property Type. It is assigned at run time once for
+all instances of a Automation Composition Type.
+
+**Instance Specific Property Type:** Property Types that apply to an individual instance of
+a Automation Composition Type.
+
+**Instance Specific Property Value:** The value of a Property Type that applies to an
+individual instance of a Automation Composition Type. The value is assigned at run time for each
+automation composition instance.
+
+Automation Composition Properties can be *common* or *instance specific*. See Section 2 of
+:ref:`TOSCA Defined Automation Compositions: Architecture and Design <acm-capabilities>`
+for a detailed description of the usage of common and instance specific properties.
+
+2.2 Common Properties
+---------------------
+
+Common properties apply to all instances of a automation composition. Common properties are identified
+by a special metadata flag in Automation Composition and Automation Composition Element definitions. For example,
+the startPhase parameter on any Automation Composition Element has the same value for any instance of
+that automation composition element, so it is defined as shown below in the
+`Definition of TOSCA fundamental Automation Composition Types
+<https://github.com/onap/policy-clamp/blob/master/common/src/main/resources/tosca/AutomationCompositionTOSCAServiceTemplateTypes.yaml>`_
+yaml file.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ startPhase:
+ type: integer
+ required: false
+ constraints:
+ - greater-or-equal: 0
+ description: A value indicating the start phase in which this automation composition element will be started, the
+ first start phase is zero. Automation Composition Elements are started in their start_phase order and stopped
+ in reverse start phase order. Automation Composition Elements with the same start phase are started and
+ stopped simultaneously
+ metadata:
+ common: true
+
+The "common: true" value in the metadata of the startPhase property identifies that property
+as being a common property. This property will be set on the CLAMP GUI during automation composition
+commissioning.
+
+2.3 Instance Specific Properties
+--------------------------------
+
+Instance Specific properties apply to individual instances of a Automation Composition and/or Automation
+Composition Element and must be set individually for Automation Composition and Automation Composition Element instance.
+Properties are instance specific by default, but can be identified by a special metadata flag
+in Automation Composition and Automation Composition Element definitions. For example, the chart parameter on a
+Kubernetes Automation Composition Element has a different value for every instance of a Kubernetes Automation
+Composition Element, so it can be defined as shown below in the :ref:`Kubernetes Automation Composition Type definition
+<kubernetes-acm-element>` yaml file.
+
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+ # Definition that omits the common flag metadata
+ chart:
+ type: org.onap.datatypes.policy.clamp.acm.kubernetesAutomationCompositionElement.Chart
+ typeVersion: 1.0.0
+ description: The helm chart for the microservice
+ required: true
+
+ # Definition that specifies the common flag metadata
+ chart:
+ type: org.onap.datatypes.policy.clamp.acm.kubernetesAutomationCompositionElement.Chart
+ typeVersion: 1.0.0
+ description: The helm chart for the microservice
+ required: true
+ metadata:
+ common: false
+
+The "common: false" value in the metadata of the chart property identifies that property as
+being an instance specific property. This property will be set on the CLAMP GUI during automation
+composition instantiation.
+
+
+3 Writing a Automation Composition Type Definition
+==================================================
+
+The TOSCA definition of a automation composition contains a TOSCA Node Template for the automation composition
+itself, which contains TOSCA Node Templates for each Automation Composition Element that makes up the
+Automation Composition.
+
+.. image:: images/defining-acms/acm-node-template.png
+ :width: 600
+
+To create a automation composition, a user creates a TOSCA Topology Template. In the Topology Template,
+the user creates a TOSCA Node Template for each Automation Composition Element that will be in the
+Automation Composition Definition. Finally, the user creates the Node Template that defines the Automation
+Composition itself, and references the Automation Composition Element definitions that make up the Automation Composition
+Definition.
+
+3.1 The Gentle Guidance Automation Composition
+----------------------------------------------
+
+The best way to explain how to create a Automation Composition Definition is by example.
+
+.. image:: images/defining-acms/gentle-guidance-acm.png
+
+The example Gentle Guidance automation composition is illustrated in the diagram above. The domain logic for the automation composition is
+implemented in a microservice running in Kubernetes, a policy, and some configuration that is passed to the microservice
+over a REST endpoint. We want to manage the life cycle of the domain logic for our Gentle Guidance automation composition using
+our TOSCA based Automation Composition Life Cycle Management approach. To do this we create four Automation Composition Element definitions,
+one for the Kubernetes microservice, one for the policy and one or the REST configuration.
+
+3.2 The TOSCA Automation Composition Definition
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+We use a TOSCA Topology Template to specify a Automation Composition definition and the definitions of
+its Automation Composition Elements. Optionally, we can specify default parameter values in the TOSCA
+Topology Template. The actual values of Automation Composition common and instance specific parameters
+are set at run time in the CLAMP GUI.
+
+In the case of the Gentle Guidance automation composition, we define a Automation Composition Element Node Template
+for each part of the domain logic we are managing. We then define the Automation Composition Node Template
+for the automation composition itself.
+
+Please refer to the `No Properties yaml file in Github
+<https://github.com/onap/policy-clamp/blob/cbd4d5dbe88928d5765e9749987f6b93f2b347e9/examples/src/main/resources/clamp/acm/gentleguidance/GentleGuidanceNoProperties.yaml>`_
+for the definitive Yaml specification for the TOSCA Topology Template for the Gentle Guidance
+domain when no parameters are defined.
+
+Please refer to the `Default Properties yaml file in Github
+<https://github.com/onap/policy-clamp/blob/cbd4d5dbe88928d5765e9749987f6b93f2b347e9/examples/src/main/resources/clamp/acm/gentleguidance/GentleGuidanceDefaultProperties.yaml>`_
+for the definitive Yaml specification for the TOSCA Topology Template for the Gentle Guidance
+domain when the default values of parameters are defined.
+
+
+4 Creating Custom Automation Composition Elements
+=================================================
+
+Any organization can include their own component in the framework and use the framework and have
+the Policy Framework CLAMP manage the lifecycle of domain logic in their component as part of a
+Automation Composition. To do this, a participant for the component must be developed that allows Automation
+Composition Elements for that component to be run. To develop a participant, the participant must comply
+with the `CLAMP Participants <#>`_
+framework and in particular comply with `The CLAMP Automation Composition Participant Protocol <#>`_.
+The organization must also specify a new Automation Composition Element type definition in TOSCA similar to
+those supplied in ONAP and described in Section 1.2. This Automation Composition Element type tells the
+CLAMP Automation Composition Lifecycle management that the Automation Composition Element exists and can be included
+in automation compositions. It also specifies the properties that can be specified for the Automation Composition Element.
+
+An organization can supply the code for the Participant (for example as a Java jar file) and a
+TOSCA artifact with the Automation Composition Element definition and it can be added to the platform. In
+future releases, support will be provided to include participants and their Automation Composition Element
+definitions as packaged plugins that can be installed on the platform.

-StartPhase
-**********
-The startPhase is particularly important in control loop update and control loop state changes because sometime the user wishes to control the order in which the state changes in Control Loop Elements in a control loop.
-
-How to define StartPhase
-++++++++++++++++++++++++
-StartPhase is defined as shown below in the Definition of TOSCA fundamental Control Loop Types yaml file.
-
-.. code-block:: YAML
-
- startPhase:
- type: integer
- required: false
- constraints:
- - greater-or-equal: 0
- description: A value indicating the start phase in which this control loop element will be started, the
- first start phase is zero. Control Loop Elements are started in their start_phase order and stopped
- in reverse start phase order. Control Loop Elements with the same start phase are started and
- stopped simultaneously
- metadata:
- common: true
-
-The "common: true" value in the metadata of the startPhase property identifies that property as being a common property.
-This property will be set on the CLAMP GUI during control loop commissioning.
-Example where it could be used:
-
-.. code-block:: YAML
-
- org.onap.domain.database.Http_PMSHMicroserviceControlLoopElement:
- # Consul http config for PMSH.
- version: 1.2.3
- type: org.onap.policy.clamp.controlloop.HttpControlLoopElement
- type_version: 1.0.1
- description: Control loop element for the http requests of PMSH microservice
- properties:
- provider: ONAP
- participant_id:
- name: HttpParticipant0
- version: 1.0.0
- participantType:
- name: org.onap.k8s.controlloop.HttpControlLoopParticipant
- version: 2.3.4
- uninitializedToPassiveTimeout: 180
- startPhase: 1
-
-How StartPhase works
-++++++++++++++++++++
-In state changes from UNITITIALISED → PASSIVE, control loop elements are started in increasing order of their startPhase.
-
-Example with Http_PMSHMicroserviceControlLoopElement with startPhase to 1 and PMSH_K8SMicroserviceControlLoopElement with startPhase to 0
-
-- CL-runtime sends a broadcast CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE message to all participants with startPhase = 0
-- participant receives the CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE message and runs to PASSIVE state (only CL elements defined as startPhase = 0)
-- CL-runtime receives CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE_ACT messages from participants and set the state (from the CL element of the message) to PASSIVE
-- CL-runtime calculates that all CL elements with startPhase = 0 are set to proper state and sends a broadcast CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE message with startPhase = 1
-- participant receives the CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE message and runs to PASSIVE state (only CL elements defined as startPhase = 1)
-- CL-runtime calculates that all CL elements are set to proper state and set CL to PASSIVE
-
-In that scenario the message CONTROL_LOOP_UPDATE has been sent two times.
-
-Design of managing messages
-***************************
-
-PARTICIPANT_REGISTER
-++++++++++++++++++++
-- A participant starts and send a PARTICIPANT_REGISTER message
-- ParticipantRegisterListener collects the message from DMaap
-- if not present, it saves participant reference with status UNKNOWN to DB
-- if is present a Control Loop Type, 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
-
-PARTICIPANT_UPDATE_ACK
-++++++++++++++++++++++
-- A participant sends PARTICIPANT_UPDATE_ACK message in response to a PARTICIPANT_UPDATE message
-- ParticipantUpdateAckListener collects the message from DMaap
-- MessageIntercept intercepts that event and adds a task to handle PARTICIPANT_UPDATE_ACK in SupervisionScanner
-- SupervisionScanner removes the monitoring for participantUpdate
-- It updates the status of the participant to DB
-
-PARTICIPANT_STATUS
-++++++++++++++++++
-- A participant sends a scheduled PARTICIPANT_STATUS message
-- ParticipantStatusListener collects the message from DMaap
-- MessageIntercept intercepts that event and adds a task to handle PARTICIPANT_STATUS in SupervisionScanner
-- SupervisionScanner clears and starts the monitoring for participantStatus
-
-CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE_ACK
-++++++++++++++++++++++
-- A participant sends CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE_ACK message in response to a CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE message. It will send a CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE_ACK - for each CL-elements moved to the ordered state as indicated by the CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE
-- ControlLoopUpdateAckListener collects the message from DMaap
-- It checks the status of all control loop elements and checks if the control loop is primed
-- It updates the CL to DB if it is changed
-- MessageIntercept intercepts that event and adds a task to handle a monitoring execution in SupervisionScanner
-
-CONTROLLOOP_STATECHANGE_ACK
-+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-Design of a CONTROLLOOP_STATECHANGE_ACK is similar to the design for CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE_ACK
-
-Design of monitoring execution in SupervisionScanner
-****************************************************
-Monitoring is designed to process the follow operations:
-
-- to determine the next startPhase in a CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE message
-- to update CL state: in a scenario that "ControlLoop.state" is in a kind of transitional state (example UNINITIALISED2PASSIVE), if all - CL-elements are moved properly to the specific state, the "ControlLoop.state" will be updated to that and saved to DB
-- to retry CONTROLLOOP_UPDATE/CONTROL_LOOP_STATE_CHANGE messages. if there is a CL Element not in the proper state, it will retry a broadcast message
-- to retry PARTICIPANT_UPDATE message to the participant in a scenario that CL-runtime do not receive PARTICIPANT_UPDATE_ACT from it
-- to send PARTICIPANT_STATUS_REQ to the participant in a scenario that CL-runtime do not receive PARTICIPANT_STATUS from it
-
-The solution Design of retry, timeout, and reporting for all Participant message dialogues are implemented into the monitoring execution.
-
-- Spring Scheduling inserts the task to monitor retry execution into ThreadPoolExecutor
-- ThreadPoolExecutor executes the task
-- a message will be retry if CL-runtime do no receive Act message before MaxWaitMs milliseconds
-
-Design of Exception handling
-****************************
-GlobalControllerExceptionHandler
-++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
-If error occurred during the Rest Api call, CL-runtime responses with a proper status error code and a JSON message error.
-This class is implemented to intercept and handle ControlLoopException, PfModelException and PfModelRuntimeException if they are thrown during the Rest Ali calls.
-All of those classes must implement ErrorResponseInfo that contains message error and status response code.
-So the Exception is converted in JSON message.
-
-RuntimeErrorController
-++++++++++++++++++++++
-If wrong end-point is called or an Exception not intercepted by GlobalControllerExceptionHandler, CL-runtime responses with a proper status error code and a JSON message error.
-This class is implemented to redirect the standard Web error page to a JSON message error.
-Typically that happen when a wrong end-point is called, but also could be happen for not authorized call, or any other Exception not intercepted by GlobalControllerExceptionHandler.
-
-Handle version and "X-ONAP-RequestID"
-*************************************
-RequestResponseLoggingFilter class handles version and "X-ONAP-RequestID" during a Rest-Api call; it works as a filter, so intercepts the Rest-Api and adds to the header those information.
-
-Media Type Support
-******************
-CL-runtime Rest Api supports **application/json**, **application/yaml** and **text/plain** Media Types. The configuration is implemented in CoderHttpMesageConverter.
-
-application/json
-++++++++++++++++
-JSON format is a standard for Rest Api. For the conversion from JSON to Object and vice-versa will be used **org.onap.policy.common.utils.coder.StandardCoder**.
-
-application/yaml
-++++++++++++++++
-YAML format is a standard for Control Loop Type Definition. For the conversion from YAML to Object and vice-versa will be used **org.onap.policy.common.utils.coder.StandardYamlCoder**.
-
-text/plain
-++++++++++
-Text format is used by Prometheus. For the conversion from Object to String will be used **StringHttpMessageConverter**.
