3. THE ROOFS AND HUMANS
Roof’s role in human evolution
Roofs protect humans and their
belongings from harsh environment,
wild animals & thieves.

Act local - Think Global
An IoT application should function
autonomously in a secure manner within
the context of a local environment. And,
connect to the global Internet for more
value creation.

Semi-autonomous
Act autonomously in local environment
and connect to cloud and the rest of the
world for more value creation.
Reuse
A model the can be repeated to build
large scale IoT applications, e.g. a Smart
City.
