My collaboration with the AURIGA group (http://www.auriga.lnl.infn.it) has started during my thesis, when I worked on the development of the experiment acquisition system (multi-process OOP C++ application run by Linux systems interfaced with various HW front-ends like VXI digitalization devices, GPS timing sources, etc.) I was then involved in the development of the local computational center and in the development of some analysis software. The former is a small Linux based computational center that supply all the services needed by the AURIGA collaboration: user management (NIS for Linux and samba domain for windows users), storage (some tens of TB from various NFS for experimental and user data), a small cluster used for data analysis (80-90 computational nodes), DBMS, web server, tape backup and replication services, etc. In that last 1.5 years I worked for the RareNoise collaboration too (http://www.rarenoise.lnl.infn.it), mainly on the thermal design of the experimental apparatus and the acquisition/control software (multi-threaded windows applications written in C#). At present I still work for both collaborations.
