What is a service?

While the definition of "process" is quite explicit (program in execution), I couldn't find an explicit definition for "service" !

Can anyone give a definition for "service" in IT ?

What's the difference between a web service and a system service?

Thankz in advance,

I have found this one:

"A service is an entity that provides a list of capabilities to applications and to other services, local and remote.
A service is dependent on an implicitly declared list of local services."

Thanks anyway!
