(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
