Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Even if the paper is well organised, several comments can be developed in the way to improve paper.
1- In section 1, it will be pertinent to give a concrete example on a equipment  with regards to Echelon Usage, double life, calendar life ... It will allows to underline to main pratical challenges.
2- Section 1 does not higlight the scientific issues extracted from the state of the art you done (scientific issues that you want to attack  y your contributions). Indeed the SoA led to a list of references but without clearly identify what are the scientific problems not already solved today in consistence with the paper topic. Moreover, your conclusion is not really related to the items you identified in the last paragraph of section 1.

3- Several problems of formatting are present in the paper, as in p3 and p4

4 - Could you precise, the main scientific novelty of your contributions in section 3.

5- In section, you proposed Equipment life information. But what are concretely these equipments? Could you detail more the current situation (in terms of what you want to improve) which is not optimal (as you used it for testing your approach)?  Discussion is not pertinent as you did not compare the results you obtained with regards to current values?

6- Sections 5 and 6 are not eough detailly to prove the interest of your approach.

Reviewer 3 Report

Authors are well defined the article but there are few questions to the authors

1.  Abstract to be revised towards the problem definition, methodology, novelty, results and conclusion of the study.

2. Introduction section found that the lack of  recent literatures, so authors should study  the extensive  recent literature survey and update it.
