Besides the current efforts to combine γ-ray data with the detections of gravitational waves and high-energy neutrinos, there are several initiatives to support and enhance multi-messenger astrophysics. One example of these projects is the Scalable Cyberinfrastructure to support Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (SCiMMA) [113], which is funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The main goal of this community-wide project is to provide the necessary scalable cyberinfrastructure to support multi-messenger astrophysics by rapidly handling, combining, and analyzing the very large-scale distributed data from all the types of astrophysical measurements. Their proposed cyberinfrastructure will allow the community to take full advantage of the current facilities and also the next-generation projects for multi-messenger astrophysics.

N2 - The observation of electromagnetic counterparts to both high energy neutrinos and gravitational waves marked the beginning of a new era in astrophysics. The multi-messenger approach allows us to gain new insights into the most energetic events in the Universe such as gamma-ray bursts, supernovas, and black hole mergers. Real-time multi-messenger alerts are the key component of the observational strategies to unravel the transient signals expected from astrophysical sources. Focusing on the high-energy regime, we present a historical perspective of multi-messenger observations, the detectors and observational techniques used to study them, the status of the multi-messenger alerts and the most significant results, together with an overview of the future prospects in the field.
