The interdisciplinary agenda include future and ongoing science investigations, information infrastructure for publishing observations in real time, novel data science to classify events, and robotic systems to optimize follow-up campaigns. Time domain astronomy is at the fore of modern astrophysics and crosses fields from solar physics and solar system objects, through stellar variability, to explosive phenomena at galactic and cosmological distances. Recent rapid progress by instruments in space and on the ground has been toward a continuous record of the electromagnetic sky with ever increasing coverage, sensitivity, and temporal resolution. With the advent of gravitational wave and neutrino observatories, we are witnessing the birth of multi-messenger astronomy.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div>Rob Seaman</div><div class="">Chair, IAU Time Domain Working Group</div><div class=""><div class="">Catalina Sky Survey, University of Arizona</div><div class=""><a href="mailto:seaman@lpl.arizona.edu" class="">seaman@lpl.arizona.edu</a></div></div><div class="">—</div><div class=""><div class="">The proceedings of Hotwired III (<a href="http://www.slac.stanford.edu/econf/C131113.1/" class="">http://www.slac.stanford.edu/econf/C131113.1/</a>) at LANL, and the range of science topics of Hotwired IV (<a href="http://lcogt.net/hotwired-iv-science-topics/" class="">http://lcogt.net/hotwired-iv-science-topics/</a>) at LCOGT, will provide a sense for the scale and central role of these efforts to time domain astronomy.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br class=""></body></html>
