Cloud & TM : * Transactional , * Object & oriented , * Self & tuning * Cloud

Cloud-TM is a highly innovative data-centric middleware platform, aimed at facilitating development and abating operational and administration costs of cloud applications. The Cloud-TM platform is designed from the grounds up to meet the scalability and dynamicity requirements of cloud infrastructures, and is the result of a 3 years long collaboration between 2 academic and 2 industrial partners. Cloud-TM provides intuitive, yet powerful abstractions aimed at masking complexity and at allowing ordinary programmers to unleash the potentiality of large-scale cloud platforms. Further, Cloud-TM integrates pervasive self-tuning schemes that exploit in a synergic way diverse methodologies like analytical modelling, simulation, and machine learning, to pursue optimal efficiency at any scale, and for any workload.
