Half-day workshop at IEEE ICDM 2026

TrustFL-SIS: Trustworthy Federated Learning for Smart Industrial Systems

A scientific workshop dedicated to trustworthy, secure, explainable, robust, and sustainable Federated Learning for real-world industrial data mining.

IEEE International Conference on Data Mining 2026

Trustworthy FL for safety-critical industrial intelligence

Industry is increasingly deploying machine learning in safety-critical settings such as smart manufacturing, smart cities, smart healthcare, and intelligent transportation. These environments generate distributed, heterogeneous, and privacy-sensitive data that often cannot be centralized.

Federated Learning enables collaborative model training across distributed data silos without sharing raw data. TrustFL-SIS focuses on the next challenge: making federated learning credible, interpretable, reliable, secure, fair, and sustainable in industrial systems.

We invite original work on

Trustworthy and explainable Federated Learning for industrial applications
Robust and fair FL under non-IID and heterogeneous industrial data distributions
Privacy-preserving and secure aggregation in multi-stakeholder environments
Federated time series analysis and sensor fusion for industrial monitoring
FL-powered predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and process optimization
Digital Twins as a trustworthy FL integration framework
Sustainable and communication-efficient federated optimization for edge/IoT
Benchmarks and evaluation frameworks for trustworthy FL in industry
Case studies in smart manufacturing, smart healthcare, and smart mobility
