FLaaS-Android

This is the Android-based client component of our FLaaS system. It consists of the following components:

• FLaaS (also known as FLaaS-Local): a standalone service that needs to be installed on the device and provides the core FL functionality to the device in accordance to the requests sent by the Server.
• FLaaSLib: a mobile app library integrated within each FLaaS-enabled third-party app willing to participate in FL training processes.
• Red / Green / Blue apps: example toy apps that utilise FLaaSLib, crated to demonstrate the simplicity and efficiency of a third-party app registering with our system.

For more information about our system, please read the following publications:
