Send a message to a process which represents or controls the shared resource. eg. external programs are controlled by a port process; sockets are controlled by a socket process; a data cache is stored in a cache process.

All access (read, write, change) to a shared resource is serialised through the controller process mailbox.

Do you have a particular type of shared resource that is of concern? Concrete examples are easier.
