  Intelligence services are playing an increasingly important role in the
operation of our society. Exploring the evolution mechanism, boundaries and
challenges of service ecosystem is essential to our ability to realize smart
society, reap its benefits and prevent potential risks. We argue that this
necessitates a broad scientific research agenda to study service ecosystem that
incorporates and expands upon the disciplines of computer science and includes
insights from across the sciences. We firstly outline a set of research issues
that are fundamental to this emerging field, and then explores the technical,
social, legal and institutional challenges on the study of service ecosystem.
