- FL server: manages job lifecycle, orchestrates workflow, assigns tasks to clients, performs aggregation
- FL client: executes tasks, performs local computation/learning with local dataset, submits result back to FL server
- FL algorithms: FedAvg, FedOpt, FedProx etc. implemented as workflows

.. note::

Here we describe the centralized version of FL, where the FL server has the role of the aggregrator node. However, in a decentralized version such as
swarm learning, FL clients can serve as the aggregator node instead.

- Types of FL

- horizontal FL: clients hold different data samples over the same features
- vertical FL: clients hold different features over an overlapping set of data samples
- swarm learning: a decentralized subset of FL where orchestration and aggregation is performed by the clients in cases where the server is not trusted
- swarm learning: a decentralized subset of FL where orchestration and aggregation is performed by the clients
