Abstract :
An understanding of the temporal and locative constraints surrounding a service are important for interacting with it. These constraints apply to both the service requestor and the service provider. We discuss service interactions including the less common ones of cancellation, suspension and resumption. We then discuss various kinds of temporal windows and argue for certain locative constraints.
