The authors state that solving the Mixed Integer Linear Program is
time-consuming, and use this point for explaining why MuDiLCO-7 is not as
in particular. \\
-\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{\textsc{Answer :} }}
+\textcolor{blue}{\textbf{\textsc{Answer :} Your remark is very interesting. We have observed that the optimal solution of the integer program is often obtained after the exploration of very few nodes of the Branch-and-Bound-tree. Therefore we conducted new simulations by applying your idea. That is to say we have stopped the resolution of the Branch-and-Bound method after a time threshold empirically defined and we retain the best feasible
+solution found by the solver. This approach allows to improve significantly the results with multirounds, especially for MuDiLCO-7.}}

The sentence "the centralized approaches usually suffer from the scalability
problem, making them less competitive as the network size increase" should
probably be tempered: heuristics and metaheuristics can handle very large and
