The present approaches to automated digital synthesis realise the control using a centralised controller. This paper presents a technique for synthesizing decentralised controllers based on interconnections between control and data path. The algorithm is based on analyzing the control flow and suitably partitioning it to realise decentralised controllers. The controllers, thus synthesized, preserve the control structure in the source description and have simple inter-controller communication. The algorithm is illustrated with an example and the controllers are mapped to pla like structures.
