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:
“It is marvelous indeed to watch on television the rings of Saturn close; and to speculate on what we may yet find at galaxy’s edge. But in the process, we have lost the human element; not to mention the high hope of those quaint days when flight would create “one world.” Instead of one world, we have “star wars,” and a future in which dumb dented human toys will drift mindlessly about the cosmos long after our small planet’s dead.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“To pin your hopes upon the future is to consign those hopes to a hypothesis, which is to say, a nothingness. Here and now is what we must contend with.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“The future is ever a misted landscape, no man foreknows it, but at
cyclical turns
There is a change felt in the rhythm of events:”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
