A white paper entitled “NATRES’ White-paper” has been co-authored by UBITECH and published at the webpage of the EU Cluster “Novel approaches and technologies for Cloud resource and service management (NATRES)”. This open-access document aims to support the activities of the cluster of projects and actions on Cloud partially funded by the European Commission through the FP7-Collaboration-ICT and H2020-LEIT-ICT programmes. It identifies the current research approaches and newest technologies in the field of resource and service management in Cloud environments, as well as the gaps that are not yet fulfilled by them. This information is considered essential to identify future research and development directions, as well as to help the initiation of new actions and projects in the field of resource and service management. UBITECH has contributed on the white paper on behalf of the ARCADIA and INPUT H2020 projects, providing information regarding the proposed approaches and the adopted technologies for novel resource and service management aspects, as well as the expected impact on the service market of the proposed actions results. The white paper is available here.
