  abstract=      "Migrating a thread while preserving its state is a useful
     mechanism to have in situations where load balancing within
     applications with intensive data processing is required.
     Strong mobility systems, however, are rarely developed or
     implemented as they introduce a number of major challenges
     into the implementation of the system. This is due to the
     fact that the underlying infrastructure that most computers
     operate on was never designed to accommodate such a system,
     and because of this it actually impedes the development of
     these systems to some degree. Using a system based around a
     virtual machine, such as Microsoft\&\#8217;s Common
     Language Runtime (CLR), circumnavigates many of these
     problems by abstracting away system differences. In this
     paper we outline the architecture of the threading mechanism
     in the shared source version of the CLR known as the Shared
     Source Common Language Infrastructure (SSCLI). We also
     outline how we are porting strong mobility into the SSCLI,
     taking advantage of its virtual machine."
