Abstract
A technique supports application operation. The technique involves discovering a set of applications running on an electronic system, and querying a user to identify which of the set of applications the user wishes to manage. The technique further involves, for each application identified by the user, providing an application service to that application to support operation of that application, the application service being separate from operating system services and security protection services provided by the electronic system.
