Summary
In this chapter, the basics and principles of FL server-side implementation were explained with actual code examples. Having followed the contents of this chapter, you should now be able to construct the FL server-side functionalities with model aggregation mechanisms.
The server-side components that were introduced here involve basic communications and the registration of the agents and initial models, managing state information used for the aggregation, and the aggregation mechanisms for creating the global cluster models. In addition, we discussed the implementation of the database to just store the information of the ML models. The code was simplified so that you were able to understand the principles of server-side functionalities. Further enhancements to many other aspects of constructing a more sustainable, resilient, and scalable FL system are up to you.
In the next chapter, we will discuss the principle of implementing the functionalities of the FL client and...
