The JSX SDKs for Photoshop, Illustrator, and Audition all return the respective names of their application via the command
app.name;
In Photoshop it returns "Adobe Photoshop"
In AI it returns "Adobe Illustrator"
In Audition it returns "Audtion" [w/o "Adobe"]
In Premiere and After Effects the property does not exist.
Is there an alternative?
BridgeTalk.appName returns aftereffects, while BridgeTalk.appSpecifier returns aftereffects-13.0 in CC2014

The BridgeTalk object did the trick in the JSX/ExtendScript context for most (perhaps all) Adobe apps.
Thanks Smallpath2013!!
There's a related feature in the JS (HTML Panel Extensions) context which likewise serves multiple Adobe Apps.
window.__adobe_cep__.getHostEnvironment();
Thanks to Thomas_Szabo for that one (Is there an equivalent for app.name in PPro JSX? )
