GUEST EDITORIAL

Special section of business process modeling, development and support (BPMDS) 2018: new perspectives for business process modeling, development and support Jens Gulden1 · Rainer Schmidt2 Received: 13 August 2020 / Accepted: 14 August 2020 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2020

The Business Process Modeling, Development and Support (BPMDS) working conference series serves as a meeting place for researchers and practitioners in the areas of business development and business applications (software) development. By incorporating these multiple views, BPMDS offers a unique community venue that integrates different streams of research on business processes and business information systems, and enables to take in a view on the whole range of BPMDS research and interrelationships among different perspectives. This makes it attractive for authors to publish cutting edge research results at BPMDS. This special section contains a selection of the most influential contributions from the 2018 edition of the working conference. The goals, format, and history of BPMDS can be found at http://www.bpmds.org/.

It is our pleasure to introduce six extended contributions from the 2018 working conference, which have made their way into this special section. They have been extended and intensively revised and went through another two-round blind review process for the journal publication.

2 Selected articles for this special section We could win six groups of authors who presented outstanding research at the BPMDS 2018 working conference to create an extended version of their conference contribution as a journal article for this special section. The article Specification-driven predictive business process monitoring by Ario Santoso and Michael Felderer puts automatic analysis of business processes into focus. Their work presents a language for specifying business process prediction tasks, which allows them to express domain-specific prediction requirements f
