Abstract
A communication port may exchange information with a user via a graphical user interface, and an application data store may contain information about executable applications, including input data and output data associated with each executable application. A merging platform may recognize that a user has selected, via the graphical user interface, a first executable application in the application data store. The merging platform may also recognize that the user has selected a second executable application in the application data store and receive an indication from the user that an application merging application is to be triggered. Responsive to this triggering, the merging application may merge behaviors of the first executable application and the second executable application, including functionality of the input and output data of each executable application, to create a merged application. The merging platform may then arrange to facilitate execution of the merged application.
