5-1 : Use Case Design Architecture for Implementing FedL Solution
A high-level architecture for implementing FedL solution for this use case is presented in Figure 5-1 . The key architectural components are ( 1 ) Participatory organizations , ( 2 ) Temporary orchestrator and ( 3 ) DLT platform . The interaction between clients ( organizations ) and aggregator ( s ) takes place via DLT platform where each node in the ledger represents a client . The key technological enablers along with design features are highlighted in the architecture .
This paper presented design considerations and guidelines for implementing FedL solutions for smart manufacturing applications . Sample use cases of FedL in manufacturing , followed by key design requirements to realise a FedL ecosystem are discussed in detail . A brief introduction to the potential business models to be leveraged by the FedL ecosystem is also presented . Finally , a decision model about various FedL architectural components ( i . e ., type of clients , mode of FedL operation & global model training orchestration ) is proposed to support the choice of suitable FedL configuration for the given use case . Future work will include further evaluation of the effectiveness of the proposed decision model with practitioners and relevant stakeholders . Emphasis will be placed on its applicability this across multiple industrial IoT sectors and use case scenarios .
