  Overhead Camshafts - Wikicars
The cams operate the valves directly or by a short rocker as opposed to overhead valve cam-in-block engines, which have tappets and long pushrods to transfer the movement of the lobes on the camshaft in the engine block to the valves in the cylinder head.
A double overhead camshaft (also called double overhead cam, dual overhead cam or twincam) valvetrain layout is characterized by two camshafts being located within the cylinder head, where there are separate camshafts for inlet and exhaust valves.
Double overhead camshafts are not required in order to have multiple inlet or exhaust valves, but are necessary for more than 2 valves that are directly actuated (though still usually via tappets).

Single overhead camshaft is a design in which one camshaft is placed within the cylinder head.
The cams operate the valves directly or by a short rocker as opposed to overhead valve pushrod engines, which have tappets and long pushrods to transfer the movement of the lobes on the camshaft in the engine block to the valves in the cylinder head.

 Camshaft - WOI Encyclopedia Italia
Sliding friction between the surface of the cam and the cam follower which rides upon it is considerable.
In order to reduce wear at this point, the cam and follower are both surface hardened, and modern lubricant motor oils contain additives specifically to reduce sliding friction.
The surfaces of the cam and follower are designed to "wear in" together, and therefore when either is replaced, the other should be as well to prevent excessive rapid wear.

 Camshafts Part II - Single Overhead Cam, Dual Overhead Cam and Pushrod Engines
On single and double overhead cam engines, the cams are driven by the crankshaft, via either a belt or chain called the timing belt or timing chain.
This is the same as a double overhead cam engine because the engine has dual overhead cams just like in a double overhead cam engine.
The overhead camshaft, which eliminates the pushrod from the system, is one of the engine technologies that made higher engine speeds possible.

 Basic Understanding of Camshafts - Tech Article - Chevy High Performance Magazine
As an example, Howards Cams' small-block hydraulic flat-tappet Max Torque camshaft (PN 112021) Chevy measures 222/232-degree duration on the intake and exhaust, respectively at 0.050-inch lobe lift, whereas the advertised duration is 288/302 degrees.
The cam's centerline specification is used to determine the position of the lobes on both the cam and as installed in the engine.
Most cam companies include an intake centerline number, which is the position of the intake lobe centerline (in crankshaft degrees) relative to top dead center on piston number one.

A Dual Overhead Cam system is usually for use with engines that have more than 2 valves per cylinder -- generally 4, but some 3 value-per-cylinder endgines utilize a DOHC system.
The name referes to the idea of having one cam shaft per X number of valves -- and more valves means more cam shafts, usually two vales per cylinder per cam.
And lets not forget that adjusting the timing on a single cam system is much easier than the timing on a Dual cam engine.

 Alfa Romeo 8C - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The short wheelbase version of this car won the Targa Florio race in Sicily, but it was the Italian Grand Prix victory at Monza that gave it its nickname, "Monza".
The supercharged dual overhead cam straight-8 engine, also designed by Jano, was later enlarged to 2.6 L. In this guise, the 8C could accelerate to 60 mph (97 km/h) in less than 7 seconds and could eventually reach 135 mph (217 km/h).
Alfa Romeo launched the stunning '8C Competizione' concept car at the 60th Frankfurt Motor Show in 2004 to an astonished audience.

 Camshaft Lobe Phasing - Tech Article - Chevy High Performance Magazine
Unless you are working with a dual overhead cam engine, grinding a new cam is the only way to change the lobe separation angle.
Stated another way, a cam with more advertised duration is guaranteed to have more overlap than a cam with less advertised duration even with the same lobe separation angle.
It’s also important to remember that overlap is ground into the camshaft when it is machined and cannot be changed without grinding a new camshaft unless you have a dual overhead cam engine with separate intake and exhaust cams.

 South Florida Jaguar Club - 40th anniversary of the Jaguar V12
At the time, the V12 project called for a 5 liter, dual overhead cam engine but it would end up being shelved when Jaguar announced its withdrawal from factory racing in 1956.
Still featuring dual overhead cam, which had become a Jaguar signature feature with the XK engine, and hemispherical heads, the engine produced just over 500 hp which was a little below the expectations of Jaguar engineers who were expecting close to 120 hp per liter or around 600 hp.
Closely linked to the four cam V12, was the development of the race car which would receive the new engine, the XJ13, a mid engine, aluminum monocoque racer completed in 1966.

As overhead-cam engines are now the norm amongst compact and import cars, a special tuning aid has returned to popularity: degreeing the cam, which is adjusting the cam timing separate to overall engine timing.
With so many more aftermarket camshafts available for compacts, and cams that are much easier to access, this method of tuning for driveability and a few more horses has become commonplace among import and compact fans.

With a camshaft sitting above the valve, all you have is some sort of lash adjuster (aka lifter) riding on the cam and the lifter rides on the valve.
If all the valves are in line, like on an EEK or even a conventional Detroit V8, one cam will open and close the valves quite well.
Putting the cam in the block and actuating the valves, through rockers, with pushrods works quite well, too.
