• storing and retrieving monitored data and analysis reports as logging records in the ASP Resource
Repository.

Application and Service Plane Resource Repository
The Application and Service Plane Resource Repository (ASP-RR) functional element is responsible for storing
the contents discovered by the ASP Resource Discovery and managing the lifecycle of the contents in the
repository and provides capabilities for:
• storing and providing APIs for query the contents discovered by the ASP Resource Discovery.
• storing and providing APIs for query the contents generated by the ASP Resource Monitoring and
Analytics.
• lifecycle management of the contents in the repository (e.g. creation by storing, modification,
deletion, etc.)

Application and Service Plane Provisioning
The Application and Service Plane Provisioning (ASP-P) functional element is responsible for provisioning
applications and services in the ASP and provides capabilities for:
• provisioning application and service in the ASP. The application and service provisioning will trigger
the ASP orchestration operation which will further trigger the CP orchestration and eventually
allocating requested resources in the DP.
• mapping and translating customer’s high-level application/service provisioning profile into
technology-aware provisioning policies
• managing provision policy lifecycle.

Application and Service Plane Fault Management
The Application and Service Plane Fault Management (ASP-FM) functional element is responsible for fault
management of the ASP and provides capabilities for:
• detecting anomalous events which cause failure of the ASP resources.

• analyzing a root cause of the failure of the ASP resources
• generating failure resolving policies and interact with control and provisioning functional
components for the actual healing actions.

Application and Service Plane Quality Management
The Application and Service Plane Quality Management (ASP-QM) functional element is responsible for
ensuring performance of the ASP resources in the ASP and provides capabilities for:
• monitoring and ensuring quality of the ASP application and service resources based on the given KPIs

Application and Service Plane Security Management
The Application and Service Plane Security Management (ASP-SM) functional element is responsible for
security management of ASP and provides capabilities for
• providing authentication and authorization capabilities of ASP

• detecting and avoiding anomalous attacks of ASP
Application and Service Plane Charging Management

The Application and Service Plane Charging Management (ASP-CM) functional element is responsible for
accounting management of ASP and provides capabilities for metering and reporting application and service
resource usage data for charging. Resource usage data can be metered per application/service or per end-
user/customer.
