-# Project Title
+# OSM PLA
-One Paragraph of project description goes here
+The PLA module provides computation of optimal placement of xNFs over VIMs by matching NS specific requirements to infrastructure availability and run-time metrics, while considering cost of compute/network.
## Getting Started
-These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
+Please refer to the [PLA User's Guide](docs/pla_users_guide.md) for a description on how to enable and configure the placement functionality.
-### Prerequisites
-What things you need to install the software and how to install them
-
-```
-Give examples
-```
-
-### Installing
-
-A step by step series of examples that tell you how to get a development env running
-
-Say what the step will be
-
-```
-Give the example
-```
-
-And repeat
-
-```
-until finished
-```
+## Running the tests
-End with an example of getting some data out of the system or using it for a little demo
+The preferred method to run the PLA unit test is to use tox.
-## Running the tests
+`$ tox`
-Explain how to run the automated tests for this system
+Please note that some of the unit test modules have dependencies to Minizinc, e.g. test_mznmodels.py and test_mznPlacementConductor.py.
+If these tests are to be performed outside a PLA container context, like .e.g. from CLI or from within an IDE, setup the environment as follows (linux example):
```
-Give an example
+$ sudo snap install minizinc --classic
+$ sudo mkdir -p /minizinc/bin
+$ sudo ln -s /snap/bin/minizinc /minizinc/bin/minizinc
```
## Deployment
-Add additional notes about how to deploy this on a live system
+PLA is an optional module in OSM. It is installed together with OSM by adding ``--pla`` to the install script.
+
+`$ ./install_osm.sh --pla`
## Built With
-* [Python](www.python.org/) - The language used
+* [Python](www.python.org/) - the primary programming language for OSM
+* [Minizinc](www.minizinc.org) - a free and open source constraint modelling language
