  The GWAC-N is an observation network composed of multi-aperture and
multi-field of view robotic optical telescopes. The main instruments are the
GWAC-A. Besides, several robotic optical telescopes with narrower field of
views provide fast follow-up multi-band capabilities to the GWAC-N. The primary
scientific goal of the GWAC-N is to search for the optical counterparts of GRB
that will be detected by the SVOM. The GWAC-N performs many other observing
tasks including the follow-ups of ToO and both the detection and the monitoring
of variable/periodic objects as well as optical transients. To handle all of
those scientific cases, we designed 10 observation modes and 175 observation
strategies, especially, a joint observation strategy with multiple telescopes
of the GWAC-N for the follow-up of GW events. To perform these observations, we
thus develop an AOM system in charge of the object management, the dynamic
scheduling of the observation plan and its automatic broadcasting to the
network management and finally the image management. The AOM combines the
individual telescopes into a network and smoothly organizes all the associated
operations. The system completely meets the requirements of the GWAC-N on all
its science objectives. With its good portability, the AOM is scientifically
and technically qualified for other general purposed telescope networks. As the
GWAC-N extends and evolves, the AOM will greatly enhance the discovery
potential for the GWAC-N. In the first paper of a series of publications, we
present the scientific goals of the GWAC-N as well as the hardware, the
software and the strategy setup to achieve the scientific objectives. The
structure, the technical design, the implementation and performances of the AOM
will be also described in details. In the end, we summarize the current status
of the GWAC-N and prospect for the development plan in the near future.
