Internet of Things Architecture

 Monitor existing associations between Virtual Entities and services

o The use case is internally triggered by the Virtual Entity & IoT Service

Monitoring functional component.

o The assumption is that it the aspects that were relevant for the

discovery of the dynamic association can change so the dynamic

association becomes invalid.

o The Virtual Entity & IoT Service Monitoring function monitors the

aspects that were relevant for the discovery of the dynamic

association (see Appendix C.3) to determine whether the association

has changed or has become invalid.

o As the result of monitoring an existing dynamic association, the

―update association‖ use case or the ―delete association‖ use case of

the virtual-entity resolution can be triggered.
