The purpose of this paper is two fold. Firstly, to introduce and study the Silov Boundary of a Banach algebra of continuous complex valued functions defined on a compact Hausdorff space X. Secondly, to apply the definition of Silov Boundary to more general families of functions, namely, to linear spaces and semi-groups of functions. It will be seen that in these latter cases, existence of the Silov Boundary depends on certain restricting assumptions about the linear space or semi-group. [...]
