During last years, data flow and data storage needs for large gravitational waves interferometric detectors have reached an order ofmagnitude similar to those of high energy physics experiments. Software tools have been developed to handle and analyze these large amounts ofdata, with the specificities associated to gravitational waves search. We will make a review ofthe experience acquired during engineering runs on the VIRGO detector with the currently used data analysis software tools, pointing out the peculiarities inherent to our type of experiments. We will also show what are the possible future needs for the offline analysis VIRGO data.

Abstract
During last years, data flow and data storage needs for large gravitational waves interferometric detectors have reached an order ofmagnitude similar to those of high energy physics experiments. Software tools have been developed to handle and analyze these large amounts ofdata, with the specificities associated to gravitational waves search. We will make a review ofthe experience acquired during engineering runs on the VIRGO detector with the currently used data analysis software tools, pointing out the peculiarities inherent to our type of experiments. We will also show what are the possible future needs for the offline analysis VIRGO data.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
