Relevant data for decision support systems are available everywhere and in various formats. Such data must be integrated into a uni?ed format. Traditional data integration approaches are not adapted to handle complex data. Thus, we exploit the Active XML language for integrating complex data. Its XML part allows to unify, model and store complex data. Moreover, its services part tackles the distributed issue of data sources. Accordingly, different integration tasks are proposed as services. These services are managed via a set of active rules that are built upon metadata and events of the integration system. In this paper, we design an architecture for integrating complex data autonomously. We have also designed the workflow for data integration tasks.
