A platform is developed for the mediation of web services via a communication network between web service providers (WSP) and web service customers (WSC). A WSP registers with the platform by sending it identification parameters for setting up a secured connection. To configure a WS, the WSP sends to the platform identification and addressing data and access control data, and the platform also obtains quality of service information that the WSP is capable of providing. A WSC is registered to define a customer profile, and the platform presents to it services accessible according to its profile. One of the WSs made available is selected according to selection information received from the WSC. A link is then set up between the WSC and the selected WS, passing via the platform so that service operation can be monitored.
