Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Hierarchical modeling of distributed manufacturing systems via a cloud–fog–edge computing architecture. • Design of a federated learning algorithm with a convergence proof, effectively mitigating statistical heterogeneity. • Closed-form solutions derived for cloud and fog nodes, with local optimizers for edge nodes. • The proposed method is scalable and downward-compatible, FedAvg and FedProx are special cases. • An accelerated variant enables asynchronous fog–cloud optimization to improve efficiency.
