The Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) will give us anunprecedented opportunity to investigate the transient sky at radiowavelengths. In this paper we present VAST, an ASKAP survey for Variables andSlow Transients. VAST will exploit the wide-field survey capabilities of ASKAPto enable the discovery and investigation of variable and transient phenomenafrom the local to the cosmological, including flare stars, intermittentpulsars, X-ray binaries, magnetars, extreme scattering events, interstellarscintillation, radio supernovae and orphan afterglows of gamma ray bursts. Inaddition, it will allow us to probe unexplored regions of parameter space wherenew classes of transient sources may be detected. In this paper we review theknown radio transient and variable populations and the current results fromblind radio surveys. We outline a comprehensive program based on a multi-tieredsurvey strategy to characterise the radio transient sky through detection andmonitoring of transient and variable sources on the ASKAP imaging timescales offive seconds and greater. We also present an analysis of the expected sourcepopulations that we will be able to detect with VAST.
