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.

With the widespread adoption of AI in various IoT scenarios such as smart sensing and processing, AI chips have become a common component at the edge. These chips are typically specialized for structured neural network (NN) processing and are designed to meet peak workload demands.
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.
