Abstract: Smart product service ecosystem (SPSE) has multi-level complexity. It is necessary to find a method to describe the hierarchical nested relationship and topological relationship of the structure of SPSE, so as to provide a systematic reference for the construction of industrial SPSE such as smart home and smart Internet-connected vehicle. Moreover, the explanatory ability of ecological service organization is insufficient, and there is a lack of accurate quantitative analysis and modeling tools. Therefore, this paper studies a survival system model and structural modeling for SPSE on sustainability using EVSM (eco-viable system model). In terms of case analysis, this paper applies the proposed methods and technologies to the structural modeling of smart home service ecosystem. The results show that EVSM model can intuitively analyze the nested hierarchical relationship of smart home service ecosystem through graphical method. This set of systematic methods has important application value for guiding the construction of system structure model of similar smart product service ecosystem and analyzing key growth and stability indicators.
