Software architecture is very important in the development of large scale software solution and plays a very active role in achieving business goals. This research is an attempt to utilize the N-Tier software architecture for developing a prototype campus information system for Fiji National University (FNU-CIS), to address the issue of performance and scalability. To assist in the design and implementation of FNU-CIS, an extensive evaluation of campus information systems is carried out to provide the bench mark on the current technology. FNU-CIS software architecture is designed with the implementation using JEE and CORBA. Experiments were carried out to assess the performance and scalability of the newly developed system. Several tests were carried out to measure the response time, throughput and latency of our system in distributed settings, and the results mainly favored FNU-CIS. This research makes a significant contribution to the field of software engineering in today’s world where performance and scalability of IT applications are often equated with better business, the process and techniques used in building such systems is paramount. The ideas presented in this paper can be easily utilized for the development of other large scale systems with similar issues such as performance and scalability to be addressed.

 Cloud computing is the buzz word in today’s Information Technology. It can be used in various fields like banking, health care and education. Some of its major advantages that is pay-per-use and scaling, can be profitably implemented in development of Enterprise Resource Planning or ERP. There are various challenges in implementing an ERP on the cloud. In this paper, we discuss some of them like ERP software architecture by considering a case study of a manufacturing company.

PT Hema Indonesia is manufacturing company established in 2001 and has continued to grow. Nowadays the company has supported business processes in various companies, such as the use of information systems. The purpose of this research is to get an overview of the performance of information systems in order to determine the extent of maturity level which is currently running, with a few aspects to consider such as effectiveness and, efficiency. Implementing IT governance, however, is a challenge to organizations. To ensure IT alignment with business goals use standard COBIT. The analytical tool used is the standard procedure COBIT issued by ISACA. In this paper the method to be used is COBIT 4.1. Coverage of Audit IT Domain are Plan Organize (PO), such as PO4, PO5, PO7 and PO8. The conclusion that can be drawn from the research that has been done is IT governance at the company has been done, although still run optimally within each IT process contained in the sub domain average on level repeatable and defined proses.

The issue of public health and policy communities engaging with food sector companies has long caused tension and debate. Ralston and colleagues’ article ‘Towards Preventing and Managing Conflict of Interest in Nutrition Policy? An Analysis of Submissions to a Consultation on a Draft WHO Tool’ further examines this issue. They found widespread food industry opposition, not just to the details of the World Health Organization (WHO) tool, but to the very idea of it. In this commentary we reflect on this finding and the arguments for and against interacting with the food industry during different stages of the policy process. While involving the food industry in certain aspects of the policy process without favouring their business goals may seem like an intractable problem, we believe there are opportunities for progress that do not compromise our values as public health professionals. We suggest three key steps to making progress.
