+Execution Model and Data Structures
+===================================
+
+The monitoring-related information including the monitoring request
+specification and DAMON-based operation schemes are stored in a data structure
+called DAMON ``context``. DAMON executes each context with a kernel thread
+called ``kdamond``. Multiple kdamonds could run in parallel, for different
+types of monitoring.
