We present a detailed strategy for the observation of GRBs, X-Ray Flashes (XRFs) and Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGR) (which are included in our proposal, given their similarities to GRB phenomena). The observations will be mainly triggered by \sw. In addition, the \he and \ig satellites can contribute a small number of alerts. The \sw collaboration expects a total alert rate of about 15 per month -- although with big uncertainties -- out of which 1--2 should be observable by \ma due to our duty cycle. The overlap in sky converages between \sw and \ma seems to be favorable for \ma. As it is still unknown how many alerts \sw will deliver exactly, we cannot predict the alert frequency now to better than 100\% uncertainty. This leads to an expected observation time of 5$\pm$5 hours per month. This number includes observation during the moon-time. We give a detailed description of the observation procedures in La Palma and propose to spend few dedicated nights to test the automatic alert procedure with the subsystem experts. We suggest to review the situation in half a year from now. \end{abstract} %% contents %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \newpage \thetableofcontents %% body %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \include{ScientificCase} \include{Alerts} \include{Monitor} \include{Strategies} \include{Timing} \include{Requirements} \include{Tests} %------------------------------------------------------------ %%% BIBLIOGRAPHY %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %%>>>> Use the following if you are using BibTeX for bibliography %\theBibliography %%>>>> Or the following if you include here by hand your %%>>>> bibliographic entries \begin{thebibliography}{900} % References in the introduction \bibitem{design} The MAGIC Telescope, Design study for the construction of a 17~m diameter Cherenkov telescope for Gamma-Astronomy above 10~GeV, March 1998, Version 5. \bibitem{PETRY} The MAGIC Telescope - Prospects for GRB research, D.
