Interaction Diagram: Update Associations

An IoT Service, the VE & IoT Service Monitoring or even another component in
the system updates an Association into the Virtual Entity Resolution component.
An association is the relation between a VE-ID and a Service Identifier and is
described by the attribute name and additional information. The call to the
Virtual Entity Resolution component is asynchronous and uses the
updateAssociation operation with the AssociationID and the Association as
parameter. If the AssociationID is part of the Association (design decision), the
separate AssociationID parameter can be omitted. The Virtual Entity Resolution
component updates the Association in its internal information base, so the
information required for look-up and discovery can efficiently be found.
