Well, the web has a very good coverage of the computer science field. If
Google can't find a term like this, it isn't very likely to be known
widely enough to be used in this list without providing context and a
description of what it means.

Someone suggested it may relate to "Synchronized Methods" in Java, which
is probably a reasonable assumption. Then the problem arrises that
multi-threading is not widespread in Prolog implementations and they
differ at various points in how they handle synchronization. In other
words, even with this insight it is very much an underspecified question.
