IEEE P1931.1 is an upcoming IEEE standard that defines an architectural framework, protocols and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for providing Real-time Onsite Operations Facilitation (ROOF). ROOF computing and networking for the data and the devices include next-hop connectivity for the devices, real-time context building and decision triggers, efficient backhaul connectivity to the cloud, and security & privacy.

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.

The Butterfly Effect
Deliver more trust and more services for better user experience.

14. ROOF SCALABILITY
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.
