The European Federation for Medical Informatics is a regional
coordinat- ing body. The Congress in Dublin. MIE 82. from 21st to
25th March 1982. is the fourth in the series following MIE 78 in
Cambridge. MIE 79 in Berlin. There was a break in 1980 for the
World Congress - MEDINFO 8- in Tokyo. This was followed by MIE 81
in Toulouse. The rationale behind these congresses is the
scientific need to share results and ideas. and the educational
need to train a wide variety of professional staff in the potential
of Medical Informatics in health care delivery. All the caring
professions are involved. doctors. scientists. nurses. pharma-
cists. paramedical staff. administrators. health care planners.

also provides a permanent record with relevant bibliogra- phy for
other workers to assess which groups are active and in which areas.
All the papers have been refereed and the referees' suggestions

The European Federation for Medical Informatics has established
itself as a regional body coordinating activity in medical
informatics. The Congress in Toulouse, MIE-81, from 9 - 13 March
1981, is the third congress in the ser ies following MIE-78 in
Cambr idge, and MIB-79 in Berlin with a gap during 1980 for the
world congress MEDINFO-80 in Tokyo. The rationale behind all these
congresses is the scientific need to share results and ideas and
the educational need to train a wide variety of professional staff
in the potential of health care and medical informatics. All the
caring professions are involved, doctors, scientists, nurses,
para-medical staff, administrators, health care planners, community
physicians, epidemiologists, statisticians, operations analysts
together with specialists from the computing profession dealing
with system analysis, hardware, software, languages, data-bases and
the marketing of systems. Medical Informatics is a very wide
subject with ramifications throughout the health care and
preventive services; it offers a key to the monitoring and
improvement of patient care and to the provision of a healthier
environment. The collection and evaluation of relevant data
improves our understanding of the ways in which health care is
provided while the availability of cheaper computer hardware and
more versatile software enables us to design and implement more
revealing and intelligent medical systems. Even though typical
systems take a substantial amount of time to design, implement and
evaluate, there is the continuing need for informaticians to assess
the current state of developmen.
The HIB 79 Congress is the second one organized by the European
Federation for l-iedical Informatics (EFMI). The host society is
the "Deutsche Gesellschaft fur l-ledizinische Dokurnentation,
Informatik und Statistik (GMDS) who are holding their 24th annual
meeting at this time. The program of MIB 79 covers every aspect of
the application of information science to medicine and public
health, and as such respresents the state of the art. Medical
Informatics (M. I. ) is now at a turning pOint. To date, despite
the efforts made by specialists in many countries, the balance
sheet of M. I. remains rather poor. One of the reasons for this
situation is the fact that the computers of yesterday were the
prerogative of an elite of users. They were expensive, difficult to
use, remot. e from the users, and mainly in the hands of a
sacerdotal caste of data processing speciali sts * In the future,
data processing facilities will be cheap, easy to handle, and
immediately accessible. Data processing will have a chance of
becoming truly democratic thanks to two important and complementary
trends in computer technology: 1. a network due to computer
communication partnership; 2. miniaturization due to the dramatic
expansion of micro-processor and computer technology. IV The
combination of these two main hardware achievements for which some
neologisms have been invented - "compunication" \ in the USA and
"telEnnatique" in France - will lead to a completely new way of
processing data which may be called "distributed informatics.
Over 95% of computers around the world are running at least one
Microsoft product. Microsoft Windows Software Update Service is
designed to provide patches and updates to every one of these
computers.
The book will begin by describing the feature set of WSUS, and the
benefits it provides to system administrators. Next, the reader
will learn the steps that must be taken to configure their servers
and workstations to make the compatible with WSUS. A special
section then follows to help readers migrate from Microsoft s
earlier update service, Software Update Service (SUS) to WSUS. The
next chapters will then address the particular needs and
complexities of managing WSUS on an enterprise network. Although
WSUS is designed to streamline the update process, this service can
still be a challenge for administrators to use effectively. To
address these issues, the next chapters deal specifically with
common problems that occur and the reader is provides with
invaluable troubleshooting information. One of the other primary
objectives of WSUS is to improve the overall security of Windows
networks by ensuring that all systems have the most recent security
updates and patches. To help achieve this goal, the next sections
cover securing WSUS itself, so that critical security patches are
always applied and cannot be compromised by malicious hackers.
* Only book available on Microsoft's brand new, Windows Server
Update Services
* Employs Syngress' proven "How to Cheat" methodology providing
readers with everything they need and nothing they don't
* WSUS works with every Microsoft product, meaning any system
administrator running a Windows-based network is a potential
customer for this book"
