Abstract

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.
