Abstract
In this chapter, we introduce some of the more common structures encountered in operating system kernels. Each structure is specified and, frequently, properties of that structure are proved. This provides a formal basis upon which to construct the kernels of this book. Some of the structures are used with minor variations (for example, semaphores will be redefined in the next two chapters), while others are not explicitly used at all (for example, tables).
