 # Colosseum Near-Real-Time RIC
 
 This is a minimal version of the O-RAN Software Community near-real-time RIC (Bronze release) adapted and extended to work on the [Colosseum](https://www.colosseum.net/) wireless network emulator.
-The scripts in this repository will start a minimal near-real-time RIC in the form of Docker containers (namely, `dbaas`, `e2mgr`, `e2rtmansim`, `e2term`).
+The scripts in this repository will start a minimal near-real-time RIC in the form of Docker containers (namely, `db`, `e2mgr`, `e2rtmansim`, `e2term`).
 The repository also features a sample xApp, which connects to the [SCOPE](https://github.com/wineslab/colosseum-scope) RAN environment through the following [E2 termination](https://github.com/wineslab/colosseum-scope-e2).
 
 If you use this software, please reference the following paper:
