Abstract

A method for adapting a session timeout period of an application comprising one or more parts, each part of the application having a corresponding predetermined session timeout period for receiving an input from a user connected to a part of the application, comprising the steps of determining the rate of timed out sessions for the part of the application after the number of connections to the part has reached a predetermined level; comparing the rate of timed out sessions of the part of the application with a predetermined threshold value of the rate of timed out sessions; adapting the predetermined session timeout period of that part (400) of the application based on the comparison to give rise to an adapted session timeout period.
