> ABSTRACT:
> Modern science increasingly relies on complex workflows that span AI,
> simulation, data analysis, cloud, edge, and HPC systems. Yet creating and
> managing these workflows remains difficult and time-consuming. This talk
> introduces the Pegasus Workflow Management System, which automates
> large-scale scientific workflows across heterogeneous computing
> environments. The seminar will discuss Pegasus capabilities for workflow
> automation, data management, fault tolerance, provenance, and scalable
> execution, as well as ongoing efforts to integrate AI into the workflow
> lifecycle. The talk will also demonstrate how AI-assisted approaches can
> help researchers move from high-level ideas, sketches, or examples to
> executable workflows, lowering barriers to advanced computing and enabling
> more accessible, resilient, and intelligent scientific automation. In
> addition, the seminar will highlight the availability of Pegasus through
> NSF cyberinfrastructure resources, including the ACCESS program and PATh,
> where researchers can use hosted Pegasus environments and integrated
> workflows on national-scale computing systems.
