Summary: The widespread popularity of data-driven services and applications transforms the IoT and Smart Sustainable Cities &Community (SSC&C) system from a traditional data collecting and transportation network into a more holistic architecture with AI-native data processing and service delivery capability. One of the key challenges in designing an AI-based architecture for large IoT and SSC&C networking systems is to implement distributed data processing and learning across a large number of decentralized datasets that can be owned or managed by different entities such as cities, communities, buildings, devices, government and business entities. Federated machine learning (FML) is an emerging distributed AI framework that enables collaborative machine learning (ML) and model construction across decentralized datasets. It offers a viable solution for data-driven data learning and synthesis across a wide variety of entities across large SSC&C networking systems. The main purpose of this draft Recommendation is to provide a feasible and standardized solution for the IoT and SSC&C relevant services and applications to use and deploy FML-enabled collaborative data learning across distributed and decentralized data sources.
