    ABSTRACT:: The paper gives an overview of commonly used synchronization
               primitives and literature, and presents a new form of
               primitive expressing conditional critical regions.

               A new solution is presented to the problem of "readers and
               writers", utilizing the proposed synchronization primitive.
               The solution is simpler and shorter than other known
               algorithms. The first sections of the paper give a tutorial
               introduction into established methods, in order to provide a
               suitable background for the remaining parts.
