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...

We are carrying out the most ambitious and comprehensive all-sky survey for pulsars and transient sources to date. Using new digital filterbank backends this survey will create a digital record of the sky that can be data mined in the future and used to search for relativistic binary and millisecond pulsars, RRATs, and extragalactic radio bursts. Using GPU technology we have developed a...
