Hotwiring the Transient Universe

[Robert Seaman]

There was a request for the table of contents.  This is available via the book preview from Lulu, but I don't see how to provide a direct link.  I've attached a PDF, which also acknowledges the contributions of the several authors.

Note that we chose to include the working drafts of VOEvent v2.0 and SEAP 0.5 rather than the stable normative standard.  Such a book is always a snapshot of a moving target.  Comments regarding other editorial decisions (eg, the omission of the transport note) are directed to the VOEvent WG mailing list and might best be approached as suggestions for the 2nd edition or for content to be hosted on http://hotwireduniverse.org

We'll also arrange to send copies to each of the authors and the Hotwired II attendees, and will likely flood the market from the VAO booth at the Seattle AAS, etc.

We will be updating the Hotwired conference series website, http://hotwireduniverse.org, with related content on an adaptive timescale.
