Project CloudSim Plus, a collaboration between IT, the University of Beira Interior (UBI) and the Instituto Federal de Educação do Tocantins, Brasil, was highlighted by the EU/Brasil Cloud FORUM, a Brazilian and European Open Science Cloud.

Researchers involved in the CloudSim Plus have developed a highly extensible simulation framework that allows Cloud users to focus on specific design issues to be investigated, without the concern of low level details related to Cloud-based infrastructures and services.

The EU/ Brasil Cloud FORUM aims to facilitate the cooperation between Brazilian end European institutions to formulate and develop a common strategy and approach for Research & Innovation in Cloud Computing, which is the leading technology for delivery of reliable, secure, fault-tolerant, sustainable and scalable computational services.
