Cooperative Control and Optimization of Swarm Systems: Cooperation of swarm systems is an important kind of swarm intelligence, which is the key research field of the new generation of artificial intelligence. Intelligent cooperative control and optimization technology is the guarantee and way for the emergence of swarm intelligence. In order to ensure China's leading role and technical advantages in the field of swarm intelligence in the future, it is urgent to carry out in-depth research on cooperative control and optimization technology of swarm systems.

Industrial Internet: Industrial Internet is a brand-new industrial ecosystem formed by the deep integration of the new generation of information technology and industry. It is the key infrastructure for the development of national industrial intelligence and has risen to the national innovation development strategy. The man-machine and material collaborative interconnection based on the networked Cooperative theory is the inevitable trend of the development of the new generation of industrial Internet.

Intelligent system and control theory: Control system is the brain of automation system, which has made great contributions to the development of science and technology. It has the great practical significance for investigating control theory.
