Strix: Explicit Reactive Synthesis Strikes Back!

Authors:

1. Phillipp Meyer
2. Salomon Sickert
3. Michael Luttenberger

First Pass

Category: Design paper. They made a new LTL synthesizer

Context: Strix is a response to other reative LTL syntehsizer competition entries.

Correctness: Seems good to me! They have data to back up their stuff.

Contributions: They contribute Strix, a tool that uses Determinstic Parity Automata (DPA) to simplify synthesis. DPA helps Strix solve problems faster by using parity game solvers as opposed to symbolic or bounded methods currently used.

Clarity: Easy to read!
