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:
“The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“One merit in Carlyle, let the subject be what it may, is the freedom of prospect he allows, the entire absence of cant and dogma. He removes many cartloads of rubbish, and leaves open a broad highway. His writings are all unfenced on the side of the future and the possible. Though he does but inadvertently direct our eyes to the open heavens, nevertheless he lets us wander broadly underneath, and shows them to us reflected in innumerable pools and lakes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The power we exert over the future behavior of our children is enormous. Even after they have left home, even after we have left the world, there will always be part of us that will remain with them forever.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
