Summary
In this chapter, we discussed the potential architecture, procedure flow, and message sequences within an FL system. The typical FL system architecture consists of an aggregator, agents, and a database server. These three components are constantly communicating with each other to exchange system information and ML models to achieve model aggregation.
The key to implementing a good FL system is decoupling the critical components and carefully designing the interfaces between them. We focused on the aspect of the simplicity of its design so that further enhancement can be achieved by just adding additional components to the systems. Horizontal decentralized design can also help implement a scalable FL system.
In the following chapter, we will discuss the implementation details of achieving FL on the server side. As some critical aspects of the functionalities have been introduced in this chapter, you will be able to implement the basic system and smoothly run the simulation...
