The idea to use multiple agents with dynamic itineraries to solve data dissemination is interested.
2. Weak Aspects
Comments 1: It is better to replace the keyword “data aggregation” with “data dissemination”.
Comments 2: There are several errors in the flow charts e.g. the forth process box in Fig.1 “x.ringNo=1” just has an input and no output, what is the next step after “x.ringNo=1”? The forth judgment box in Fig.4 (b) “is p.mA_direction is UP?” only considers the next step when this condition is right. What should be done if this condition is false? The judgment box in Fig.4 (a) has two inputs.
Recommended Changes:
Please refer to the drawing specification to improve the flow chart. Start box and end box should be selected in accordance with the flow chart format. Judgment boxes should follow the principle of single entrance, and the arrow in the same path should be only one.
Comments 3: The value range of α is Inappropriate. We can see that there exists an optimal point in MADIDD from Fig.5 (a) (b), which is very important for MADIDD. However, the author narrowed the value range of alpha in the analysis of Fig.5(c) (d). We are unable to see what the distribution of the optimal point in MADIDD is.
Recommended Changes:
-Increase the value range of alpha, and add the analysis of MADIDD’s optimal value.
-There should be a high-level description.
Comments 4: There are several errors in references e.g. “10. Chen, M., et al., “Itinerary Planning for Energy-efficient Agent Communication in Wireless Sensor Networks,” IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, , 2011(99): p. 1-1.” and so on. Please check the references format carefully.
