upon the process- driven IoT-community computing model [1] that is derived from a conceptual integration of the process-awarecollaborations and the standardized IoT framework announced via the ITU-T SG131 Y.2060. We assume that a group ofcollaborative smart- objects communities can be built-up statically, dynamically, or autonomously and their process-aware goals
can be specified and achieved adaptively over an IoT-based community computing environment. We also strongly expect that theproposed abstract language will deliver us a meaningful means in specifying and achieving adaptive process-aware goals of theIoT-based communities formed in a ubiquitous computing society.
