RELATE: Trans-European Research Training Network on Engineering and 
Provisioning of Service-Based Cloud Applications (http://www.relate-itn.eu)

The FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network (ITN) "RELATE" provides an 
opportunity for young researchers to study the latest technologies, 
platforms and tools in the area of engineering and provisioning of 
service-based Cloud applications. The ITN consists of seven leading 
European research institutes and five associated partners. The ITN will 
organize regular workshops and summer schools, so that the trained Early 
Stage Researchers (ESRs) - PhD candidates, and Experienced Researchers 
(ERs) - PostDocs, can exchange research experience, insights and ideas. 
A total of 21 fellows, 18 ESR fellows who will register for PhD degrees 
and three ER fellows, will be recruited. Through an integrative and 
multidisciplinary research approach, RELATE will promote the advancement 
of the state-of-the-art in the related areas of model-driven engineering 
and formal methods, service-based mash-ups and application integration, 
dependability, performance and trust in service-based cloud 
applications, as well as quality management and business model innovation.
