A Study on the Deployment of Mesoscale Chemical Hazard Area Monitoring Points by Combining Weighting and Fireworks Algorithms

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This manuscript entitled " A study on the deployment of mesoscale chemical hazard area monitoring points by combining weighting and fireworks algorithms" is a carefully done study. This work innovatively proposes a method to deploy mesoscale chemical hazard zone monitoring points by combining regional importance and fireworks algorithm. With regional importance as the constraint, a site selection model for the deployment of monitoring points in mesoscale chemical hazard zones is constructed and solved by clustering algorithm and fireworks algorithm, while relevant factors affecting the deployment scheme are discussed, and the conclusions are quite practical and instructive, which are suitable for publication in the journal "Sustainability". However, I would like to propose some details that need to be modified:

1)       I suggest the author add a workflow diagram to make the article more clear;

2)       I suggest the authors change the letter "K" in "K-means clustering algorithm" to lowercase;

3)       A space is needed between "s,t" and the inequality in Equation 14;

4)       Equation 20 numbering format is not consistent with other equation numbering format;

5)       The quality of the pictures in Figure 3 and Figure 5 in the article is not clear enough, I suggest the author to improve the clarity of the pictures;

6)       In line 339, there should be one space between round and (), and the font of round is suggested to be changed to the font used in the formula;

7)       No spaces are needed after the keyword "telemetry", I suggest deleting it;

8)       There are extra spaces in line 39 of the article, suggest deleting;

9)       Suggest the author to delete the extra space between "choose" and "the" in line 126 of the article;

10)   There is an extra space between "optimize" and "the" in line 139 of the article;

11)   The expression format of the formula is inconsistent in the article, and it is recommended to use ":" or "." after " Equation (1)";

12)   I suggest that the authors indicate the units of coordinates in Figures 1, 3, 5and 6 and specify the units of side length and running time

Response 8:Thank you for your comment. A correction has been made to address this issue in line 39 of the article.

Comment 9: Suggest the author to delete the extra space between "choose" and "the" in line 126 of the article;

Response 9:Thank you for your comment. A correction has been made to address this issue in line 129 of the article.

Comment 10: There is an extra space between "optimize" and "the" in line 139 of the article;

Response 10:Thank you for your comment. A correction has been made to address this issue in line 132 of the article.

Comment 11: The expression format of the formula is inconsistent in the article, and it is recommended to use ":" or "." after " Equation (1)";

Response 11:Thank you for your comment. A correction has been made to address this issue in line 192 of the article.

Comment 12: I suggest that the authors indicate the units of coordinates in Figures 1, 3, 5and 6 and specify the units of side length and running time

Response 12:Thank you for your comments. To address this issue we have added units and descriptions to the figure notes for figures 1, 3, 5 and 6.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your time involved and this great opportunity for us to improve the manuscript. We hope you will find this revised version satisfactory. 

Sincerely,

All Authors

Reviewer 2 Report

dear author,

It is a nice manuscript provided application of firework algorithm in sensor network optimization. However, the introduction is broad and have several incoherent sentences. Please clarify and restructure the introduction.

Title of Figure 1 3 and 5 should have more information. It should explain the dots , circle and pink square. how the clustering has been done etc.
