We propose OrchNAS, an energy-aware, personalised, federated edge intelligence framework that leverages a Neural Architecture Search Service to automatically design service-adaptive models for heterogeneous edge environments. The framework orchestrates the architecture search process on a server-side NAS service, enabling edge services to derive personalised architectures under device-level energy, computation, and memory constraints.

The paper introduces a dynamic framework for partitioning neural network layers across a heterogeneous edge‑cloud continuum, adapting to runtime changes in network conditions and device capabilities. It profiles models at startup, measures link quality, and periodically re‑evaluates the partitioning to optimize performance. Experiments on a Raspberry Pi, laptop, and desktop using VGG16, AlexNet, and MobileNetV2 demonstrate energy savings of 27.09–35.82% and latency reductions of 6.34–22.92% over static partitioning.

FeatureFormer is a neural performance predictor that adds explicit node-wise encodings of FLOPs, parameter counts, and memory proxies to a gated graph attention architecture. It is designed to improve latency and energy prediction for neural networks on edge devices, addressing the limitation of existing GNN and transformer predictors that largely ignore node-level computational cost. The authors also introduce NNEQ, a large-scale energy consumption dataset, and show through extensive experiments that FeatureFormer achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance across both metrics, including challenging out‑of‑domain settings, while the encoding can broadly enhance existing predictors with negligible overhead.
