    The author presents an approach for the numerical solution of hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, which avoids upwind processes and computation of derivatives of mean Jacobian matrices. The stability in this method is obtained using convexity considerations. In order to obtain accuracy, the author proposes a combination of the second-order Lax-Wendroff scheme and the first-order modified Lax-Friedrichs scheme. With a certain definition of ``local dissipation by convexity'' it is possible to overcome the difficulty of nonexistence of classical entropy-flux pairs for certain systems. The applicability of the method is demonstrated with a lot of demanding numerical simulations.
