However, shifting to agent-driven workflows introduces risks regarding +non-determinism and "dataflow contamination," which threaten scientific +reproducibility. In this presentation, we argue that robust provenance data +management is the critical enabler for trustworthy autonomous systems. + +

+ +We introduce a dual framework: "Provenance of Agents," which enforces accountability +by systematically capturing agent decisions for root cause analysis, and +"Provenance with Agents," which leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) as +interfaces to democratize access to complex runtime data. Showcasing the Flowcept +architecture and real-world applications in computational chemistry and adaptive +additive manufacturing at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, we demonstrate how +provenance safeguards the scientific method within autonomous loops. By ensuring +transparency and enabling real-time human steering across the Edge-Cloud-HPC +continuum , this approach removes manual bottlenecks, significantly reducing +time-to-solution and accelerating the pace of trusted scientific discovery. \ No newline at end of file
