The paper then describes the mission and architecture of BizTalk Server, which is Microsoft's integration server product. We conclude with some thoughts on the future of the business integration domain, which we believe is still in the early stages of its technology lifecycle. The range of target problems, processing models and even architecture principles for integration solutions are likely to be evolving rapidly for some time.enText/Conference Paper1617-5468
