XML Schema-based Minification for Communication of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Systems in Cloud Environments
XML-based communication governs most of today's systems communication, due to
its capability of representing complex structural and hierarchical data.
However, XML document structure is considered a huge and bulky data that can be
reduced to minimize bandwidth usage, transmission time, and maximize
performance. This contributes to a more efficient and utilized resource usage.
In cloud environments, this affects the amount of money the consumer pays.
Several techniques are used to achieve this goal. This paper discusses these
techniques and proposes a new XML Schema-based Minification technique. The
proposed technique works on XML Structure reduction using minification. The
proposed technique provides a separation between the meaningful names and the
underlying minified names, which enhances software/code readability. This
technique is applied to Intrusion Detection Message Exchange Format (IDMEF)
messages, as part of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system
communication hosted on Microsoft Azure Cloud. Test results show message size
reduction ranging from 8.15% to 50.34% in the raw message, without using
time-consuming compression techniques. Adding GZip compression to the proposed
technique produces 66.1% shorter message size compared to original XML
messages.Comment: XML, JSON, Minification, XML Schema, Cloud, Log, Communication,

Authentication in Welded Clad Plate with Similar Material and Thickness
This paper continues the research previously done by authors on numerical modelling of the dissimilar welded joints with varying clad thicknesses using a commercial finite element software. The current study simulates the welding conditions of a similar clad plate with a thin thickness. The computer simulated outcome then verified with the measured data of from other researchers. A close match between the numerical models and the experimental data was found.Peer reviewedFinal Published versio

Peda-comical: a personal account of comics in education
presented as a comic stripIn the forward to his 1985 book 'Comics and sequential art'. comics great Will Eisner defines sequential art as...'a means of creative expression, a distinct discipline, an art and a literary form that deals with the arrangement of pictures or images and words to narrate a story or dramatize an idea'. Comic books, falling under this definition, have been used as an educational tool since the 1940s in the US..
