A graphical workflow definition and management tool enables administrators and other authorized users to implement a workflow process that can be used to evaluate project submissions or other applications that require step-by-step process completion. The steps required to navigate through the workflow are first defined. Inputs, outputs, and actions, including conditional criteria, can be specified for the steps. The flow of control between the individual steps in the workflow is mapped out; changes to the status of a project submission can cause a submission to migrate to a succeeding step in the workflow. A 'sandbox' testing environment allows changes to any aspect of the workflow to be safely evaluated without affecting live data. Conflicts between production and test workflows are identified and intelligently resolved.

A partial file stream is utilized to conserve resources and provide services when a file stream such as video file stream is requested for processing to generate a thumbnail. A file stream host provides a partial file stream generated from the beginning and end parts of the video file stream adjoined by a middle part. The partial file stream minimizes resource utilization. The partial file stream also enables access by external processes to generate the thumbnail and minimize exposure to security risks by stopping direct access to the file stream host.

A network peripheral device driver maintenance framework and corresponding method is disclosed. The framework includes a driver version identification level comprising a set of driver version descriptions. Each driver version comprises a set of component versions that make upon each particular driver version. A driver component level, under the driver version identification level, comprises uniquely identified component versions (containers) comprising sets of driver files that make up the component versions identified by the driver versions. A method for maintaining multiple simultaneously active networked peripheral device drivers is disclosed. The method includes storing a new driver on the machine in a manner including the following steps performed by a machine. Initially, the machine establishes, within a directory structure, a container for storing a set of driver files constituting a version of a driver component. A unique identifier name is assigned to the new container. A set of driver files associated with the component version is inserted within the container.
