Auction-based federated learning (AFL) is an important area of FL incentive mechanism design. It effectively incentivizes high-quality data owners (DOs) to participate in data consumers' (DCs, i.e., servers') FL training tasks. However, AFL is still evolving, with existing methods primarily addressing optimal DC-DO matching or DC selection problems in monopoly markets. To enhance the practicality of AFL, we introduce stakeholder-oriented decision support in AFL. This facilitates optimal and strategic decision-making for all stakeholders, improving the efficiency and sustainability of the AFL ecosystem.
