Description
I will review the various methods that have been used in the search
for transient radio signals. After introducing the so-called
"transient phase space", I will present the highlights of the
discoveries from the past few years. Then, I shall focus on a number
of as-yet-unexplained signals which might prove to be powerful
cosmological probes. Next, I will review the known sources of
transient radio emission, as well as speculating on theoretical
possibilities, considering the observational evidence for these. I
will conclude by looking at the very latest in search techniques as
the community transitions from archival searches of single-telescope
surveys towards real-time all-sky monitoring using vast telescope
arrays.
