The Secure Scientific Service Mesh (S3M) provides API-driven infrastructure to accelerate scientific discovery through automated research workflows. By integrating near real-time streaming capabilities, intelligent workflow orchestration, and fine-grained authorization within a service mesh architecture, S3M enables secure and flexible programmatic access to high performance computing (HPC) resources. This framework allows intelligent agents and experimental facilities to dynamically provision resources and execute complex workflows, accelerating experimental lifecycles, and enabling AI-augmented autonomous science. S3M establishes a modern foundation for scientific computing infrastructure that significantly reduces traditional barriers between researchers, computational resources, and experimental facilities.
