Abstract LOFAR is a new radio telescope being commissioned in the Netherlands and across Europe. It provides a uniquely wide-field, high-sensitivity view of the low frequency radio sky. This capability will be exploited to carry out a large-scale transients monitoring program. This has necessitated the development and application of a number of new techniques and technologies. Here, some of the approaches which have been adopted are highlighted, and their applications within the LOFAR project are discussed.
