%X 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&\[sh]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.
