1. Method for orchestration of services (S, WS) of a service-oriented automation system (SOAS), with system components (SMC, LCC) offering services (S, WS) depicting their functionality and querying services (S, WS) of other system components, with the behavior of the automation system (SOAS) being controlled through orchestration of the services (S, WS) of the system components (SMC, LCC) by means of an orchestration machine (OE), characterized in that the services (S, WS) are orchestrated at the device level, in that in each services (S, WS)- offering and/or querying system component (SMC, LCC) the at least one orchestration machine (OE) is implemented, with the HLPN model depicting the behavior of the automation system (SOAS) and/or the system components (SMC, LCC) interpreted and implemented by the orchestration machine integrated in each system component (SMC, LCC) while using HLPN models tailored to service-oriented systems.
