A Framework of Modeling and Simulation Based on Swarm Ontology for Autonomous Unmanned Systems

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

1. Justify how swarm ontology is helping in your research to reduce the complexity of AI? Explain this in the introduction portion with some relevant reference.

2. What are the research gaps in your problem statement? Write the major challenges of this problem statement in detail?

3. What are the strengths of your proposed model, mention at least four attributes. Include them in the model explanation.

4. Enlist all the methodologies used by you in the study and put them in a table.

5. Enlarge all the figures to be clearly visible. Figs. 1 to 6 are to be enlarged for normal view. 

All the cited papers are to put in their proper places. Rewrite the conclusion focusing on the relevancy of the topic.

 Section 2 is to be checked for proper english.

Reviewer 3 Report

The proposed and simulated Swarm Ontology for Autonomous Unmanned Systems seems to be good work and useful for readers, but author should address following comments before accepting. 

1. Author should explain the following term in the context of their research Macro behavior, Meso behavior, and Micro behavior.

2. "ConOps" should be explained

3. Short forms like MBSE, should be expanded before their first use.

4. It's better to provide a literature review report in a tabular form with respect to Taxonomy.

5. See Figure 3-1 to Figure 3-6  it should be 

See figure 3-1 to figure 3-6

6. conclusion should be precise and concise. 

Good No issue
