The document summarizes a research paper that proposes an energy efficient and quality of service (QoS) aware routing protocol for wireless sensor networks. It evaluates the paper as juried and notes the research question is clearly stated. The paper is logically organized and integrates previous related work comprehensively. However, the procedure is not easily understood as no simple flow chart or block diagram is included.

1. Energy efficient and QoS based routing protocol for
wireless sensor networks
Jalel Ben-Othman, Bashir Yahya
PAPER EVALUATION

2. JURIED OR NON- JURIED?
I believe it is a juried paper, as in the article history it is mentioned that it was first
received and after some months it has been received in a revised form.

3. STATED RESEARCH QUESTION
They clearly stated the research problem and their
proposed solution at the abstract by stating that the
networking protocol need to cope up with energy
constraints while providing QoS guarantee. In order
to overcome this challenge they propose an Energy
Efficient and QoS aware multipath routing protocol

4. LOGICAL ORGANIZATION
The paper is logically well
organized, as they have clearly
and briefly described every
section at the end of the
introduction.

5. RELATED WORK
There is a whole section entitled
“Related Work”, in which the authors
have described and integrated previous
related researches both critically and
comprehensively.

6. THE CLARITY OF THEIR PROCEDURE AND
METHODOLOGY
There are diagrams and tables
clarifying their method and
proposal specifically at section 4
“Description of EQSR Protocol”,
However, it is not easy enough for
a reviewer that is not very
specialized in the field to
understand not to mention
replicate their procedure. I wished
if they have included a general
simple flow chart or a block
diagram.

7. RESULT INTERPRETATION
I agree with the interpretation of the result because the authors
included result charts that clearly show the outperformance of their
proposed solution.

8. STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
Juried
Research Question
Logically Organized
Related Work is integrated
Logical Interpretations
No simple flow
chart or a block
diagram included-
the procedure is
not easily
understood
