Virtual Machine<br />

• The terms layer and virtual machine can be used<br />

interchangeably<br />

• Also sometimes called “level of abstraction”.<br />

• A virtual machine is an abstraction that provides a set of<br />

attributes and operations<br />

• A virtual machine is a subsystem connected to<br />

higher and lower level virtual machines by<br />

"provides services for" associations.<br />
