Abstract

In his paper "Implementation of a Generalized Critical Region Construct", Ford has proposed a modification to Brinch Hansen and Hoare's concept of Conditional Critical Regions. In this paper, we point out some of the problems with the original proposal and present many improvements in order to make the construct more useful.
