VEGA, an environment for gravitational waves data analysis

A new generation of large scale and complex Gravitational Wave detectors is building up. They will produce big amount of data and will require intensi ve and specific interactive/batch data analysis. We will present VEGA, a fr amework for such data analysis, based on ROOT. VEGA uses the Frame format d efined as standard by GW groups around the world. Furthermore, new tools ar e developed in order to facilitate data access and manipulation, as well as interface with existing algorithms. VEGA is currently evaluated by the VIR GO experiment.
