Y'know, this really illustrate what Joe's problem is.

"Monitor" is a well known concurrency pattern,
but a different one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_pattern
links "Monitor pattern" to
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monitor_(synchronization)
which is Hoare monitors.

This one sounds close to "Observer" except for being
concurrent, and it would appear to involve something
close to what Joe was calling PUB-SUB.
