Description
The SKA as currently designed will be a ground-breaking facility for
radio transient studies. I will give an overview of the possibilities for transient and variable-source astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array. I will focus on a few scientific topics that will highlight to aspects that may result in a dramatic increase of the scientific return: the addition of near-real-time commensal searches of data streams for events, and (ii) rapid robotic response to Target-of-Opprtunity like triggers
