In recent years, there is an increasing interest in new business models and strategies from both practitioners and researchers. The significant market transformation has been accomplished by leading E-commerce vendors such as Alibaba and Amazon through their innovative and highly scalable E-Commerce eco-systems. In the context of E-Commerce eco-system, there are hundreds of millions of consumers, thousands of businesses and shops, and hundreds of delivery people. Alibaba Group, as one of the main E-Commerce providers, cooperates with tens of thousands of software vendors to provide all necessary software services to support the business. With the booming of eco-business, more ecological roles in E-Commerce businesses emerge. For instance, Alibaba Group has expanded its business scale from Taobao Software to several business units, with 10000 plus technical staff. Large E-Commerce businesses such as Alibaba Group need to support a large number of applications and business modules, and cater for hundreds of business requirements and independent changes on a daily basis. Another new commercial mode, the sharing economy, such as Airbnb, Instacart, and Uber, has already operated on the basis of E-commerce eco-systems and information technologies. The intersection of these information technologies and business models provides ample research opportunities in intelligent processing of data, information and knowledge.
