  11. Service class defining the client's performance goal.
  12. Count of observations work classified to this service class using the processor.
  13. A multiprogramming level (MPL) slot represents one address space. The multiprogramming level is the number of address spaces resident in central storage at any given time.
  14. An I/O cluster is a unique set of devices that are shared by address spaces in the same set of period(s). Changing the I/O priority of one period in an I/O cluster could affect the I/O priority of any of the periods that are part of the same I/O cluster.
