   * VOEvent v2.0
   * VOEvent transport protocols, brokers, etc.
   * Surveys generating transient alerts (eg, LSST, LOFAR, LIGO, ...)
   * Robotic telescope networks responding to alerts
   * Classification of celestial phenomena (especially time varying)
   * Vocabularies for the time domain

See Matthew if you have slides to present.
