time-sharing
Concurrent user access
Time-sharing is a system where multiple people share ownership or use of something, taking turns during designated periods.
In real estate, time-sharing typically means joint ownership of a vacation property where each owner has exclusive use for specific weeks each year: They bought a time-share in Florida.
In computing, time-sharing refers to a system where multiple users access a single computer simultaneously, with the processor rapidly switching between tasks to give each user the appearance of dedicated access.
