# 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](https://git.vatsim-germany.org/nav/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](https://git.vatsim-germany.org/nav/aman-sys) and visualize sequences

## Component description

AMAN uses [Protocol Buffers](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers)
for the message serialization and message definition between the EuroScope instance and the AMAN backend.

Additionally is [ZeroMQ](https://zeromq.org/) used for the communication abstraction layer.

This component provides the server backend with the planning and optimization system per airport.
It is designed as a python framework that can run on a webserver.
ZMQ based encryption and authentication methods are used to authenticate controllers.
