Hi Alla,

Regarding points 1.2 and 1.9 below... Are these selections and restrictions 
being made to simply testing, or are you saying that ONAP will not be able to 
handle the use cases, unless the specific VNFs, stipulated in 1.9, are used?

Thanks,

Alex

Subject: [onap-tsc] First Use case subcommittee meeting - the summary

Hi,

Yesterday we had the first Use case subcommittee meeting. Thanks to all 
participants! Here is the call summary:


1.       We had general discussion of what should be Use case subcommittee 
responsibility and the proposed flow/tasks division between a different 
subcommitees/projects/Release management. We have a separate email thread 
handling that discussion. Right now, the flow proposal is following:

1.       Use case subcommittee discuses new use cases

2.       Use case subcommittee produces use case flow diagrams, provides its 
view on the foreseen modules introductions/modifications and suggests potential 
PNFs / VNFs

3.       Use case subcommittee gets feedback from the potentially effected 
projects including integration team on feasibility

4.       Iterate back to 2.

5.       TSC approves the use case

6.       In case new modules or new API introduction is foreseen, architecture 
subcommittee defines the new/modified ONAP flows and the interfaces principles, 
based on the approved use cases

7.       Projects define their extended functionality and their external APIs, 
following those principles.

8.       Detailed per-component flows are defined and projects write their user 
stories / implement them; Integration team continuously works with Use case 
subcommittee to accompany the use case development, review epics/user stories, 
answer questions, etc. Use case subcommittee behaves as system engineers for 
the use case through test start date

9.       Integration team defines the gating use case based on step 8 and 
finalizes the PNFs / VNFs selection, with the help of use case subcommittee, 
architecture subcommittee, PTLs of a different ONAP projects

10.   TSC approves the gating use case

11.   Integration project leads (coordinates) effort to get the gating use case 
tested, repaired, and verified, and the results are documented.



2.       There were no questions or proposals for the existing R1 use cases

3.       Yan Chen has presented Enterprise vCPE Use Case targeting ONAP R2. The 
received comments were to add justification part to the use case description, 
to consider equipment extensions e.g. VNFs, open sourced or commercial, and to 
add flows

4.       As we will have to decide which R1 use cases extension/R2 new use 
cases are beneficial, it is proposed to have justification section per each 
brought use case.

5.       We agreed there are 2 use cases categories: those purely based on new 
models/new configuration and those required components extension/new components 
introduction. The former may not require interactions with projects etc. per 
phases defined in (1), while the latter does. In case of former, we may decide 
to recommend it for inclusion in the present release, and it will be up to 
Integration team to decide whether the task id feasible.

6.       For the R1, we reached step 6 from the Italic list above. Thus, we 
need to get architecture subcommittee feedback urgently. This feedback should 
include:

a.       What architecture subcommittee plans to define for R1 and when

b.      Which decisions should be taken by the projects themselves

7.       Also, a direct communication should be established between the 
Integration team/PTLs of the other projects and the use cases teams to speed up 
the process, per Helen's request. This would follow (6) above i.e. whether 
input is expected from Architecture subcommittee or direct work with use case 
teams can be established. Yoav and Jon from Amdocs (they are cc'ed) are 
contacts for vCPE use case. I asked for the contacts names for VoLTE use case - 
will communicate once I get those.

8.       It was clarified that we should provide our R2 use cases proposal by 
September meeting. This would include steps 1-4 from the Italic list above. For 
that, all interested companies are required to start bringing their R1 use case 
extensions/new R2 use cases proposals ASAP. It would be beneficial to get those 
in advance before each meeting in order to have constructive discussion.

A general point - right now, bi-weekly calls are scheduled. Subject to load and 
responsibilities split, we may decide to move it to weekly meetings. Let's 
discuss it next meeting.

Also, a dedicated use case subcommittee email list was created - please 
subscribe. I plan to move all related email exchanges over there in a week from 
now.

Best regards,

Alla Goldner
