Foundation concepts
These concepts should
become, or perhaps already be, familiar to you. They underlie the study of operating
systems; consider them as essential background and daily vocabulary for this
class. In fact and experience, students who take the class arrive
with varying degrees of familiarity so we will spend some
brief time dedicated to each of them toward the beginning of the
course, interspersed with our other concerns.
