Future
EAI technologies are still being developed and there still is no consensus on the ideal approach or the correct group of technologies a company should use. There are many ongoing projects that provide support to design EAI solutions. They may range from proprietary projects like Microsoft BizTalk Server, IBM WebSphere Message Broker or open projects like Mule ESB, Apache Camel, Niklas Integration Platform and Spring Integration to academic projects like Guaraná DSL. The future is to provide technologies that allow the design of EAI solutions at a high level of abstraction and use MDA to automatically transform the design into an executable solution. A common pitfall is to use other proprietary technologies that claim to be open and extensible but create vendor lock-in.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“At sixty, I would like to give my future back its vistas of uncertainty.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“To believe in something not yet proved and to underwrite it with our lives: it is the only way we can leave the future open. Man, surrounded by facts, permitting himself no surmise, no intuitive flash, no great hypothesis, no risk, is in a locked cell. Ignorance cannot seal the mind and imagination more surely.”
—Lillian Smith (1897–1966)
“Poetry is not only dream and vision; it is the skeleton architecture of our lives. It lays the foundations for a future of change, a bridge across our fears of what has never been before.”
—Audre Lorde (1934–1992)
