In this paper we present the simulation program that has been developed for the VIRGO gravitational wave detection experiment. Although this program - SIESTA - is still evolving, it has reached a stage where the design requirements have been largely fulfilled. We first remind the needs and the choices which have steered the program design and led to the present structure. The contents of the program...
Large interferometers aiming at the detection of gravitational waves are under construction. They use multiple optical cavities and require a coherent control of several mirror positions without spoiling the detector sensitivity. In the case of the VIRGO interferometer several solutions to this problem are currently under study inside the collaboration. In this paper we describe a preliminary study...
