Here is the definition of "session" from W3C Web Services Glossary
(http://www.w3.org/TR/ws-gloss/):
"A lasting interaction between system entities, often involving a user,
typified by the maintenance of some state of the interaction for the
duration of the interaction. [WSIA Glossary]
Such an interaction may not be limited to a single connection between the
system entities."
This is in-line with the definition provided by William, though a bit more
abstract.

> Proposal:
> ---------
>
> In the glossary: Remove all references to conversations and
> define a session
> as "a set of related messages (sent or received by the
> service) and their
> context".
>
> In the requirements list (section 2), add:
>
> - The manageability representation MUST allow monitoring
> (including state
> and access to messages) and control of the current sessions
> of a service.
> - The manageability representation MUST allow metrics to be
> defined at the
> session level.
