		| Abstract: | 
		The Open Workflow Layer (OWL) is an open source Workflow Management System (WMS)
 developed at the Space Telescope Science Institute. OWL is being designed for
 the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) science data processing using the Hubble
 Space Telescope (HST) as a test bed. It is however very general and could be
 applied to many other missions and data processing applications.
 
 OWL is a thin Python layer that provides advanced workflow management, GUIs and
 a data-centric view on top of Condor, a widely used open source batch scheduling
 system. As such, OWL can transparently take advantage of the many features
 offered by Condor without having to re-implement them from scratch. |
