Carlo Mazzocca, Nicolò Romandini, Rebecca Montanari, Paolo Bellavista

Abstract: Highlights•Identify and discuss the main factors in designing and developing FL at the edge.•Describe how DLTs can be used to tackle the targeted design challenges.•Propose a novel architecture that leverages IOTA and IPFS to enable FL at the edge.•Evaluate its feasibility, providing metrics that are neglected in the FL literature.
