\section{Motivation}
\textit{What makes the research topic of interest and importance}
\section{Research question}
\textit{The main research question(s) that you want to address.}
\textit{Provide one sentence that gives an overview of the topic, how would you describe your thesis to a computer scientist?}
Example: The goal of this thesis is to understand and optimize the performance behavior for large-scale data accesses in the domain of climate and weather.
\textit{Now split the research goal into questions}
\smallskip
This covers the research questions:
\begin{enumerate}
\item What workflows are limited by I/O?
\item Which I/O operations are typically performed?
\item Which optimizations are beneficial for the workflows on HPC systems?
\end{enumerate}
\section{Related work}
\textit{How your thinking builds on any previous work.}
\medskip
Relevant work can be classified into: a) LaTeX studies, b) performance analysis in HPC, ....

\section{Research methodology}
\textit{What research methodology or techniques you may need to use}
\section{Required infrastructure}
\textit{What facilities you are likely to require to conduct your research.}
\medskip
This research requires a supercomputer with more than 100 nodes to run experiments on.
