This paper presents PORSCE II, an integrated system that performs automatic semantic web service composition through planning. In order to achieve that, an essential step is the translation of the web service composition problem into a planning problem. The planning problem is then solved using external domain-independent planning systems, and the solutions are visualized and evaluated. The system exploits semantic information to enhance the translation and planning processes.
