Abstract: In this paper, we propose an approach to model KIBS firm activities as digital ecosystem of services in a distributed environment supported ICT. In particular, we present a generic service system architecture with respect to “Everything as a Service” (*aaS) architecture to provide digital services in pervasive environment. To achieve interoperability, we introduce a service-based middleware relying on service characteristics and service lifecycles. The middleware enables operational and management features to achieve secure, proactive, and context-aware e-services. An important aspect of our approach is the ontological description of various components and the management of business activities with business rules.
