aman-es

Arrival MANanager (AMAN)

System description

AMAN is splitted up into four different components.

• aman-com defines the diffent message types
• aman-es implements an EuroScope plugin to communicate with aman-sys
• aman-sys implements the backend system to plan an optimal arrival sequence for the different airports
• aman-web implements a web-interface to configure aman-sys and visualize sequences

Component description

AMAN uses Protocol Buffers for the message serialization and message definition between the EuroScope instance and the AMAN backend.

Additionally is ZeroMQ used for the communication abstraction layer.

This component extracts all relevant information out of the VATSIM network and sends the information to the server. Additionally is a unique identifier used to verify connections to the backend. According to data protection is the ZeroMQ-based network encryption used. Every controller needs his own unique identifier.
