+**Portal** - a single, consistent user experience for both design timer
+and run time environments, based on the user’s role.
+
+**Design Time Framework** - a comprehensive development environment with
+tools, techniques, and repositories for defining/describing resources,
+services, and products:
+
+ - Service Design and Creation (SDC) provides tools, techniques, and
+ repositories to define/simulate/certify system assets as well as their
+ associated processes and policies.
+
+ - A VNF Software Development Kit (VNFSDK) with tools for VNF supplier
+ packaging and validation.
+
+ - Policy Creation (POLICY) deals with conditions, requirements,
+ constraints, attributes, or needs that must be provided, maintained,
+ and/or enforced.
+
+ - Closed Loop Automation Management Platform (CLAMP) provides a method
+ for designing and managing control loops.
+
+**Runtime Framework** - The runtime execution framework executes the
+rules and policies distributed by the design and creation environment
+and Controllers that manage resources corresponding to their assigned
+controlled domain:
+
+ - Service Orchestrator (SO) executes the specified BPMN processes and automates
+ sequences of activities, tasks, rules and policies needed for on-demand
+ creation, modification or removal of network, application or infrastructure
+ services and resources. SO is especially able to drive any OpenStack-based cloud platform.
