Generally, business processes are collaborative, span over different organizations, and tend to be complex with diverse granularities. It is difficult to model them properly with any definite scale of granularities. Typical solutions, such as proclets, try to tackle the problem by splitting a traditional monolithic process into a set of interacting processes in terms of cardinality, multiplicity, and other constraints. However, many issues still remain unresolved, including how to capture the business goal, and/or measure the progress of a process, how to support complex collaborative patterns in ever changing environments, how to accurately characterize the formal semantics of these models, etc. In this paper, we propose a
