Click here for the SC25 Birds of a Feather “Emerging Challenges in AI/ML Workflows” Report
Abstract: As AI and ML technologies converge with computational science and engineering, practitioners face emerging challenges in developing and deploying effective workflows. This BoF session invites SC25 attendees to discuss critical issues including workflow composition and orchestration, containerization, robust data management, and AI integration with simulation workflows and infrastructure. We will discuss a variety of AI workflows that include LLMs, science models, and AI agents. Through a short keynote, lightning talks, a panel, and short audience polls, this BoF is designed to be interactive and focus on audience interests. Join us to share experiences and identify key challenges.
