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.

We introduce an energy-aware global architecture search mechanism that learns a compact global representation across heterogeneous services. We develop an energy-efficient architecture selection mechanism that enables each service to derive a personalised subnet that satisfies its resource constraints via a progressive, greedy, energy-aware pruning strategy.

We propose an energy-efficient personalised model optimisation scheme that updates service-adaptive parameters while preserving global representations, where a primal-dual optimisation mechanism enforces strict energy budgets during architecture adaptation. Experiments on real-world and benchmark datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
