Colleagues,

You may have recently seen or had users with email purportedly coming from the IU Webmail Team that asks to reply and include your password. These messages have a subject similar to "Confirm Your Email Address!" and have a from address of support@indiana.edu (where the reply-to address is something completely different). They have been confirmed as a phishing attempt and are definitely not from any group at UITS. In fact, UITS will never ask any user for a password via email, in person, or over the phone.

If you or a user mistakenly sent any personal information in reply to these messages, you should immediately change your password at https://passphrase.iu.edu. Any user may also confidentially contact the Policy Office as well [1]. Notices have been posted on IT Notices [2], UITS News [3], and both Webmail and Outlook Web Access login pages [4].

For more information on phishing and tips on avoiding these scams, visit the KB article http://kb.iu.edu/data/arsf.html. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Thank you,
LSP Services

Title: Matchmaking Scientific Workflows in Grid Environments
Time: 2:00 - 3:00 pm, Nov. 16, Friday
Venue: Room 100B, Showers Complex
Abstract:
In this paper we analyze the scientific workflow matchmaking problem in Grid environments and combine workflow mapping and scheduling. Based on the characteristics of Grids, a new resource model is proposed. Motivated by the observations that not all jobs can run on all resources and that resource-critical jobs should be considered with their ancestor and descendant jobs when mapping, a novel resource-critical algorithm is designed based on a new Grid resource model. By means of experiments, it is shown to have good performance.
