The Burst Optical Observer and Transient Exploring System (BOOTES) is a world-wide automatic telescope network which aims to repaid follow-up of transient and astrophysical sources in the sky for which the first station was installed in 1998. With the advent in 2015 of the LIGO/Virgo interferometers, as part of the new generation of detectors designed for the detection of the signal of gravitational waves, a new window to explore the Universe has been opened. Here we present the status of the BOOTES network, the related strategies regarding the follow-up of gravitational wave events and the developments in the Gravitational Wave Era. Some preliminary results regarding the BOOTES follow-up observations are presented.
