Invitations


Invitations are easier to handle when the essential details are clear from the start. Use this page to prepare the date, venue, duration, audience and topic in one complete draft that can be reviewed and answered directly.

Note. The wording below is a draft prepared on Dr. Osuolale's behalf and has not yet been approved by him. Nothing on this page states a fee, a rate or a commitment.

01

Compose the invitation

Fill the left. The letter on the right writes itself. Nothing is sent from this page and nothing is stored.

What are you inviting him to do
Format

Say it plainly, including when the answer is nothing. It saves a week of correspondence.

The letter

The button opens your own mail client with the letter already written and addressed to aofestus@futa.edu.ng. Nothing leaves your machine before you press send. Anything still missing is marked in the letter.

02

Talks he can give

Six, each drawn from work he has actually published. Selecting one fills the composer above.

Lecture · Keynote · Workshop

What happens when the cloud fails

Availability is quoted in nines and lost in minutes. A working account of fault tolerance in real-time cloud environments: what checkpointing and replication actually cost, where mitigation strategies stop helping, and how to choose between them with numbers rather than vendor claims.

From the 2021 fault-mitigation work and the 2024 load-balancing study.
Keynote · Panel · Policy briefing

One citizen, one record

Nigeria holds the same person in a dozen databases that were never designed to speak to each other. An architecture for harmonising national identity data — and an honest look at why the hard part is institutional, not technical.

From the 2017 national data harmonisation paper, European Scientific Journal.
Lecture · Workshop

Security you can measure

Most security postures are asserted, not measured. A hybrid model for assessing risk in web-based systems that produces a number you can argue with — and what happens when you apply it to systems already in production.

From the 2015 web-based security risk assessment work.
Lecture · Panel · Industry briefing

What Nigerian cloud providers actually deliver

An evidence-based evaluation of indigenous cloud providers against the guarantees they advertise. Uncomfortable in places, useful everywhere — particularly for institutions about to sign something.

From the 2020 evaluation published in IJCA.
Lecture · Workshop

Most of your storage bill is duplicates

File-level checksum deduplication, what it recovers, and where the technique quietly breaks. Practical, arithmetic-heavy, and immediately applicable to any institution paying for storage by the terabyte.

From the 2019 deduplication study.
Lecture · Seminar

Mining a country's call records

Call detail records at national scale: multidimensional pattern mining, the storage overhead nobody budgets for, and the Pattern Cube approach to sequential stream data.

From the 2017 Pattern Cube Algorithm paper.
