+\section{Introduction}
+
+
+Briefly describe and motivate the project, and convince the reader of the importance of the proposed thesis work. 
+A good introduction will answer these questions: Why is addressing these challenges significant for gaining new knowledge 
+in the studied domain? How and where can this new knowledge be applied?
+
+
+
+\section{Problem} 
+
+
+
+This section is optional. It may be used if there is a need to describe the problem that you want to solve in more technical 
+detail and if this problem description is too extensive to fit in the introduction.
+
+
+
+
+\section{Context}
+
+
+
+Use one or two relevant and high quality references for providing evidence from the literature that the proposed study indeed 
+includes scientific and engineering challenges, or is related to existing ones. Convince the reader that the problem addressed 
+in this thesis has not been solved prior to this project.
+
+
+
+
+
+\section{Goals and Challenges}
+
+
+
+Describe your contribution with respect to concepts, theory and technical goals. Ensure that the scientific and engineering 
+challenges stand out so that the reader can easily recognize that you are planning to solve an advanced problem. 
+
+
+\section{Approach}
+
+
+
+Various scientific approaches are appropriate for different challenges and project goals. Outline and justify the ones that 
+you have selected. For example, when your project considers systematic data collection, you need to explain how you will analyze 
+the data, in order to address your challenges and project goals.
+
+One scientific approach is to use formal models and rigorous 
+mathematical argumentation to address aspects like correctness and efficiency. If this is relevant, describe the related algorithmic 
+subjects, and how you plan to address the studied problem. For example, if your plan is to study the problem from a computability aspect, 
+address the relevant issues, such as algorithm and data structure design, complexity analysis, etc.  If you plan to develop and 
+evaluate a prototype, briefly describe your plans to design, implement, and evaluate your prototype by reviewing at most two relevant 
+issues, such as key functionalities and their evaluation criteria.
+
+The design and implementation should specify prototype properties, 
+such as functionalities and performance goals, e.g., scalability, memory, energy. Motivate key design selection, with respect to state 
+of the art and existing platforms, libraries, etc.  
+
+When discussing evaluation criteria, describe the testing environment, e.g., test-bed 
+experiments, simulation, and user studies, which you plan to use when assessing your prototype. Specify key tools, and preliminary 
+test-case scenarios. Explain how and why you plan to use the evaluation criteria in order to demonstrate the functionalities and 
+design goals. Explain how you plan to compare your prototype to the state of the art using the proposed test-case evaluation scenarios 
+and benchmarks. 
+
+
