Guide to use AIA

1. You maybe suffer from some problems when start to run AIA from its website as following:

1. Your Java version is out-of-date.

2. Application Blocked

3. Application Blocked by Security Settings

4. Your security settings have blocked an application from running with an out-of-date or

expired version of Java.

5. Your security settings have blocked an untrusted application from running.

For security reasons, recent versions of Java may block unsigned Java applets from automatically running

by default.

Solution #1

If you are allowed to install/upgrade software on your computer, please install the latest Java

upgrade first, relaunch the web browser, and try again.

Solution #2

If you are unable to install/upgrade to the latest Java version, you can work around this problem

by adding an "exception site" or temporarily lowering the security level of the currently installed

Java:

3. If there is a "Exception Site List" section in this window, click on the "Edit Site List..." button

--> Click the "Add" button --> Type in the URL for the Java applet as following:

and put this link “http://aia.cis.unimelb.edu.au/demo/MergeSort.html” --> Click the "OK" button

and click “Add” and put this link “http://aia.cis.unimelb.edu.au/demo/QuickSort.html” finally click

ok.

4. If there is no "Exception Site List" section in this window --> Slide the "Security Level"

indicator from "High" down to "MEDIUM" --> Click the "Apply" button --> Click the "OK"

button.
