Reactive synthesis is an automated procedure to obtain a correct-by-construction reactive system from a given specification. Examples of these systems include the software controllers of robotic systems. Despite recent advancements on the theory and algorithms of reactive synthesis, e.g., efficient synthesis for the GR(1) fragment of linear temporal logic, many challenges remain in bringing reactive synthesis technologies to the hands of software engineers.
The SYNTECH project is about bridging this gap. It addresses challenges relate to the change from writing code to writing specifications, and the development of tools to support a specification-centric rather than a code-centric development process.
