VE Resolution
Associations between Virtual Entities and IoT Services are inserted into VE
Resolution by IoT Services, the Service Management components or the VE &
IoT Service Monitoring. They can later be updated and eventually deleted, e.g.,
when the IoT Service is undeployed. The message exchange is shown in Figure
Figure 59 : insert, update, and delete Association
The VE Resolution component allows retrieving of associations between Virtual
Entities and IoT Services based on VE identifier and VE service specification
through a lookup request as well as discovery of Associations based on VE
specification and VE service specification as depicted in Figure 60.
