Transient triage
É Want to make optimal use of bothsmall and large facilities
É Perform crude classification and targetprioritisation with small facilities first
É Has to be fastÉ Has to be automated

Automating the spread ofinformation
VOEvent provides a decentralised,machine-readable publication model.
e.g. Swinbank 2013, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013MNRAS.428.3114S

Let’s make this work
É We can provide the tools andinfrastructure
É Running an open VOEvent server atvoevent.4pisky.org
É NASA-GCNÉ DESAlerts (soon)É OGLE / GAIA (possibly)
É A minimum working example to getyou started:github.com/timstaley/fourpiskytools

Summary
É There are rapidly evolving radio-bandtransients, too
É Radio information could be a powerfulaid to classification
É We can help you get started withVOEvents
