The boundary layer is a very narrow region between an accretion disk and an accreting star, in which with the disk material approaching the surface of the star, its angular velocity drops from the Keplerian value to the angular rotation velocity of the star. The importance of the boundary layer lies in the considerations that up to a half of the accretion luminosity is generated in this region, and that it provides the inner boundary condition for the differential equations determining the structure of the outer disk. In this paper the progress of research on the accretion disk boundary layer in cataclysmic variables is reviewed briefly.
