This paper describes CILIX, a compact and powerful implementation of a CIL virtual machine working on resource-poor wireless sensor nodes. CILIX can process CIL programs on a device that has such limited computational resources as an 8-bit/16-bit CPU, 32-KB program memory, and 4-KB RAM. It provides many useful functions for a sensor node, including an I/O manager with UDP, FAT 32, thread control, and dynamic program replacement. For developing software on sensor nodes using CILIX, developers can chose programming languages from C#, C++/CLI, Visual Basic, J++, F#, and the many other languages supported by the .NET Framework.
