The revolution in time-domain astronomy has arrived. Large-scale surveys are detecting events at an unparallelled rate, and discoveries of new and exotic objects abound. In just a few short years, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope will begin operations in Chile. At that point, the rate of production of time-domain events will jump by a factor of at least a hundred. The traditional techniques of handling each detection individually will not scale to those current and future productions. The ANTARES project is a joint venture between NOAO and the University of Arizona Computer Science Department to develop a software infrastructure system to process time-domain events automatically at the scale and rate that LSST will generate them.
