Abstract
Traditional businesses are transforming into cognitive business operations with convergence of technologies such as Cloud, Big Data, Artificial Neural Networks, and Machine Learning. As businesses all around the world become more dependable on technology and handle more data, the success of the business enterprises is greatly determined by the intelligent workflows that are automated, adaptable, and self-learning. Intelligent workflows play a vital role in cognitive enterprises, and almost every business now is cloud based. The business users are depending on multi-cloud environment to get the best in breed services for their business operations. This chapter focuses on adaptation of intelligent workflows in cognitive enterprises in a multi-cloud environment. The evolution of cognitive computing and cognitive enterprise is outlined. Current approaches in workflow automation and tools and processes for automated workflow management were detailed in the chapter. The design strategies and techniques for designing intelligent workflows for multi-cloud are discussed. The challenges in adapting intelligent workflows in multi-cloud environment and multi-cloud operations are explored.
