%X PIERS is a deadlock free virtual routing system developed
   for distributed concurrent applications. It deliberately
   exploits the advantages gained by allowing cycles to occur
   in the channel dependency graph and incorporates the cycles
   into the routing algorithm. It directly interfaces with the
   user\[rs]s application and uses the existing OCCAM channel
   primitives. The paper describes how this cyclic
   routingalgorithm operates and how deadlock is averted. It
   describes how the routing system is implemented, presents
   the performance figures obtained and summarises the network
   configuration utility written to integrate the communication
   harness with the user\[rs]s application.
