Abstract
The concepts “Big Service” and “Internet of Services (IoS)” arise along with the flourish of Internet-based service paradigm and services computing technologies. Business functionalities belonging to different organizations, regions or domains are encapsulated as services and publicized to outside world, and these services are further aggregated by public platforms, then complicated and flexible collaborations among services could be constructed for the fulfillment of personalized customer demands. Big Service and IoS have drastically fostered a new approach for business innovation and transformation of various types of industries. In this paper, we introduce the fundamental concepts and reference architecture of Big Service and IoS, then summarize the corresponding roadmap of business innovation and transformation, and analyze the intrinsic drivers of such roadmap. Referential development and execution environment of Big Service and IoS is presented, along with several candidate technological architecture for companies to adopt in different application scenarios.
