 A service or the Virtual Entity & IoT Service Monitoring unit

updates an existing association, so that any changes are

reflected.

 A service or the Virtual Entity & IoT Service Monitoring unit deletes

an existing association, indicating that the formerly associated

service does no longer provide the specified functionality.

If the management of associations is successful, the associations that can be
looked up or discovered reflect the status as reported by the services or the
Virtual Entity & IoT Service Monitoring.
