With the rise of the Internet, globalization and the increasing number of applications used inside organizations, there is an emerging need to integrate information across heterogeneous information systems. Service oriented architecture (SOA) is seen as a general answer to intraorganisational as well as interorganisational integration problems. While service oriented systems have been well studied, there are still some challenges remaining unanswered. One of them is automation of service execution. This paper proposes a method for automated execution of Web Services. Based on Web Service execution automation, the proposed approach is bridging the gap between ontology based integration and service oriented architecture by enabling dynamic and transparent integration of information which is provided by services.
