Aims. The detection and measurement of gravitational-waves from coalescingneutron-star binary systems is an important science goal for ground-basedgravitational-wave detectors. In addition to emitting gravitational-waves atfrequencies that span the most sensitive bands of the LIGO and Virgo detectors,these sources are also amongst the most likely to produce an electromagneticcounterpart to the gravitational-wave emission. A joint detection of thegravitational-wave and electromagnetic signals would provide a powerful newprobe for astronomy.  Methods. During the period between September 19 and October 20, 2010, thefirst low-latency search for gravitational-waves from binary inspirals in LIGOand Virgo data was conducted. The resulting triggers were sent toelectromagnetic observatories for followup. We describe the generation andprocessing of the low-latency gravitational-wave triggers. The results of theelectromagnetic image analysis will be described elsewhere.  Results. Over the course of the science run, three gravitational-wavetriggers passed all of the low-latency selection cuts. Of these, one wasfollowed up by several of our observational partners. Analysis of thegravitational-wave data leads to an estimated false alarm rate of once every6.4 days, falling far short of the requirement for a detection based solely ongravitational-wave data.
