RELATE: a research training network on engineering and provisioning of service-based cloud applications

The RELATE Initial Training Network (ITN), funded by the EU in the Marie Curie Actions programme, is a multidisciplinary training network of European academic and industrial partners working together to train academic researchers and next generation experts in the area of engineering and provisioning of service-based Cloud applications. In this paper, we present the up-to-date goals and strategy of the RELATE project and give an overview of the ongoing research activities within the training network.
