The splitting of an application in response to detected environmental events (such as user input). Such splitting may be performed for purposes of sharing the application. The application is a transformation chain instance. From the detected environmental event(s), it is determined that a portion transformation chain class is to be created from the larger transformation chain class of the application. In response, the portion transformation chain class is created, instantiated and operated. A sharing mechanism may be used to allow the split portion of the application to be shared with other entities without losing control.

Transformation chain application splitting

Sharing an application in response to detecting one or more environmental events (such as user input). The mechanism operates multiple applications, and maintains a registry of endpoint interface entities. The endpoint interface entities may include hardware entities or hardware entities in association with environmental criteria. For each of at least some of the applications, the mechanism identifies at least one endpoint interface entity that is to interface with the endpoints at least a portion of the application. The selected endpoint interface entity is then allowed to interface with the application (or the portion). In some embodiments, the application is a transformation chain having endpoints.
