Description

The Event Workflow Management System (EWMS) enables previously impractical scientific workflows by transforming how HTCondor is used for massively parallel, short-runtime tasks. This talk explores what’s now possible from a user’s perspective. Integrated into IceCube’s Realtime Alert pipeline and powered by OSG’s national-scale compute resources, EWMS’s debut application delivers directional reconstructions of high-energy neutrinos within minutes. The system’s user-first design streamlines scientific workflows, while built-in tools provide reliable administrative control. This talk will showcase how EWMS is accelerating discovery today and explore how its capabilities could unlock new research across domains—from astrophysics to protein modeling, large-scale text mining, and beyond.
