+\emph{Main Research Question:} How to define, design and evaluate a predictive \gls{dcdt}?\\
 
 \noindent We divide the problem of designing a predictive \gls{dcdt} into three research questions:
-\begin{enumerate}[label=\textbf{RQ\arabic*.}, align=left]
-	\item \textbf{How to define a \gls{dcdt}?}\\
+\begin{enumerate}[label=\emph{RQ\textsubscript{\arabic*}}, align=left]
+	\item \emph{How to define a \gls{dcdt}?}\\
 	      There is currently a lack of a unified definition of what constitutes a \gls{dcdt}, and the differences between a \gls{dcdt} and a generic \gls{dt}.
 	      It is necessary that we establish a common definition of a \gls{dcdt} in the research community.
 	      We must develop a holistic \gls{dcdt} model that factors in the necessary components of a \gls{dt}.
 	      This is very challenging, because the \gls{dcdt} definition must address many kinds of operational and technical requirements, compatible with the existing background on \gls{dt}'s.
-	\item \textbf{How to design a \gls{dcdt} system model using discrete-event simulation and predictive data analysis?}
+	\item \emph{How to design a \gls{dcdt} system model using discrete-event simulation and predictive data analysis?}\\
 	      Existing \gls{dcdt} frameworks lack the necessary predictive capabilities to prevent unplanned behaviour in datacenters.
 	      In this work, we aim to explore the design space of a predictive \gls{dcdt} and the different design trade-offs.
 	      Through discrete-event simulation, we aim provide the foundation for the system model to interact with a physical datacenter.
 	      This is a very challenging task, because there are many functional and non-functional requirements of a \gls{dcdt} that need careful consideration.
 	      The architecture must comply with the generic \gls{dt} model and address the non-trivial challenges in operating a modern datacenter.
-	\item \textbf{How to evaluate and validate a \gls{dcdt} model in relation to system requirements}?
+	\item \emph{How to evaluate and validate a \gls{dcdt} model in relation to system requirements}?\\
 	      To understand the operation of the proposed system and whether it meets its design goals we need to measure it's performance.
 	      This is a challenging and non-trivial task that requires a careful design of a set of experiments that realistically show datacenter digital twin workings.
