            Abstract : 
We present a methodology for synthesizing controllers for hybrid systems to satisfy safety specifications. Motivated by an application to conflict resolution for aircraft, we present a conceptual algorithm that extends game theoretic methodologies developed for controller synthesis for finite automata and continuous systems to the hybrid setting. We conclude with a brief discussion of computational issues that need to be resolved to effectively implement this algorithm
