*Scope*
In this special issue we seek for high-quality contributions 
investigating the use of blockchains and their underlying technologies 
in the area of enterprise modeling and for enterprise information 
systems. Blockchains constitute a new paradigm for decentralized 
information systems with implications both on a managerial and a 
technical level. After a first hype that originated mainly from their 
successful use in cryptocurrencies, blockchains are now being evaluated 
for innovative enterprise applications. In this context, the use of 
modeling techniques plays an important role for the well-structured 
design, evaluation, and deployment of such applications. This concerns 
both the use of general-purpose modeling methods as well as 
domain-specific modeling methods. Furthermore, the integration of 
blockchain technologies in traditional enterprise information systems is 
studied for domains such as enterprise resource planning systems, for 
business process execution, for interorganizational collaboration or for 
the distributed storage of organizational knowledge.

*Possible Topics include but are not limited to:*

  *      Use of enterprise modeling methods for blockchain-based
    applications
  *      Domain-specific modeling methods for blockchain-based applications
  *      Blockchain-based execution of enterprise models such as
    business processes, enterprise architecture models or software models
  *      Architectures for the integration of blockchains in enterprise
    information systems
  *      Storage, distribution, processing, and management aspects of
    enterprise models using blockchains
  *      Process mining in combination with enterprise models and
    blockchains
