As data becomes increasingly distributed across devices, organizations, institutions, and jurisdictions, conventional centralized machine learning faces growing challenges related to privacy, regulation, communication costs, data ownership, and trust. The book explains the mathematical foundations, optimization methods, system architectures, and key algorithms that enable collaborative model training without centralizing sensitive data. It also examines heterogeneous data, scalability, fault tolerance, privacy and security mechanisms, governance, fairness, accountability, and regulatory compliance. Suitable for students, researchers, educators, and practitioners, it offers a unified framework for designing responsible, secure, and privacy-preserving AI systems worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003ePartha Pratim Ray is an Assistant Professor (Stage 2, Academic Level 11) in the Department of Computer Applications at Sikkim University, India, with over 13 years of experience in teaching, research, and academic administration. He is currently pursuing his Ph.D. in Computer Applications, focusing on enabling large language models on resource-constrained edge systems. He holds an M.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (Embedded Systems) and a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering, and has qualified GATE in Computer Science.
