Abstract: The synthesis of a reactive system generates a set of concurrent tasks coordinated by an operating system. This paper presents a synthesis approach for reactive systems that aims at minimizing the overhead introduced by the operating system and the interaction among the concurrent tasks. A formal model based on Petri nets is used to synthesize the tasks. A practical application is illustrated by means of a real-life industrial example.
