(Almost) any way you want is the answer for most of my own xAPps.

You can, however, combine several of them together in one 'runtime' so
you only have the one apparent application running, but with multiple
chunks of xAP business logic operating inside it.

Or if you find them useful enough, you can opt to run them as Windows
Services so they're just 'there' in the background. Each xAPp can be
installed separately or several of them as one single 'unit'.

I said "(Almost) any..." above. I haven't quite got the other
runtime
environments (so you can minimise a pretty GUI to the system tray)
done yet. But they're coming. Slowly.

The architecture to allow further xAPplications of this type is built
into my xAPFramework SDK (along with a gazillion other useful xAP
software development features just waiting for people to discover ;-)
