Alida's concept is implemented in Java and prototypically in C++ (the implementation can be found here). Note that only the Java version is currently under active development and maintenance. The C++ implementation is in a rather early state lacking lots of features.
Current Java release
The current release of Alida is 2.6.
Since release 2.3 we support Maven for managing Alida's project resources.
You can download Alida following the links below in the table and also as Maven artifacts from our Maven server:
https://moon.informatik.uni-halle.de/archiva/#artifact/de.unihalle.informatik.Alida/alida
For download the following files are of interest:
- Distribution: the complete Alida Distribution including all dependencies and documentation (zip format)
- Binaries only: the Alida binaries only, mainly suitable for development purposes (note that dependencies are not included here)
- API: the Alida Javadoc API (jar format)
Alida's source code is also available from Github: https://github.com/alida-hub/alida
Note that Alida's implementation requires at least Java 1.6 (Java 1.7 is not yet fully supported).
Using Alida in your own code
For using Alida as a library in your own code the most easy way to fulfill all requirements and dependencies is to use Maven.
Since Alida version 2.4 we offer a template Maven project which you can use as a starting point for your work:
- Maven-Template Project: zip
Just unzip the archive to a directory of your choice and follow the instructions in the README file included.
The project already defines all repositories and dependencies required to use Alida's functionality.
Manual
Detailed information about Alida, its API and usage, can be found in the user and programmer manual.
- Alida-Manual, Version 2.4 pdf (June 2014)
Additional resources
- Chipory - a graph visualization tool for displaying MiToBo history graphs
Chipory is an extended version of the Chisio software developed at the Bilkent University in Turkey.
The zip file below contains all necessary files. Download this file and unpack it into a folder of your choice.
- To use Chipory on a Linux system with 32-bit architecture just type './Chipory.sh'.
- In case that your machine has a 64-bit architecture running Linux, call './Chipory_64.sh'.
- For Windows with 32-bit architecture a self extracting installer including an executable of Chipory is available.
Download the current release as of 7-12-2012:
- Chipory binary zip
- self extracting installer for Windows chipory-setup.exe
Source code for Chipory is available upon request.

In the pre-Maven era Alida's dependencies on external jars had to be managed manually. Alida required some external jars included in the Alida binary zipfiles (since v2.0).
For earlier versions the following external jars are needed to use Alida:
In addition, Alida requires some more libraries which are in-house developments:
- Alida requires some graphml extensions to be found in aldgraphml.jar.
- Since release 2.2 saving and loading of configurations is based on XML beans, hence Alida requires some additional xml packages to be found in alida-xmlprovider.jar.
- The graphical operator runner features an online help system based on JavaHelp System which is included in Alida-Help.jar.
If you download the Alida binary zipfile you will find these two libraries in the subdirectory intjars of the zipfile.
Make sure that all of them are in the classpath when executing the operator runners.
