Abstract
We describe a new microlensing-event alert algorithm that is tailored to the
Korea Microlensing Telescope Network (KMTNet) multi-observatory system. The
algorithm focuses on detecting "rising" events, i.e., events whose brightness
is increasing as a function of time. The algorithm proceeds in three steps. It
first identifies light curves with at least
