1. A method of determining access to a system supporting a plurality of simultaneous accesses, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a request to access the system,determining whether to allow access to the system using an access vector comprising a plurality of access objects, each access object corresponding to one of the simultaneous accesses,allowing access to the system only when at least one of the access objects is available, andif access to the system is allowed based on an available access object, changing the available access object to an unavailable access object for the duration of the access,wherein the number of simultaneous accesses permitted is modifiable by changing a number of access objects in the access vector without halting operation of the system.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a multi-connection control system. Initially, one or more requests to access a system are received. For each request, it is determined whether to allow access to the system using an access vector to identify an available access object.

9. An apparatus for determining access to a system supporting a plurality of simultaneous accesses, comprising:
-
a computer, one or more computer programs, executed by the computer, for; receiving a request to access the system, determining whether to allow access to the system using an access vector comprising a plurality of access objects, each access object corresponding to one of the simultaneous accesses, allowing access to the system only when at least one of the access objects is available, and if access to the system is allowed based on an available access object, changing the available access object to an unavailable access object for the duration of the access, and means for modifying the number of simultaneous accesses permitted by changing a number of access objects in the access vector without halting operation of the system. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. An article of manufacture comprising a computer program carrier readable by a computer and tangibly embodying one or more instructions executable by the computer to perform method steps for determining access to a system supporting a plurality of simultaneous accesses, the method comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a request to access the system; determining whether to allow access to the system using an access vector comprising a plurality of access objects, each access object corresponding to one of the simultaneous accesses, allowing access to the system only when at least one of the access objects is available, and if access to the system is allowed based on an available access object, changing the available access object to an unavailable access object for the duration of the access, wherein the number of simultaneous accesses permitted is modifiable by changing a number of access objects in the access vector without halting operation of the system. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
