Modeling video and graphic streams with different clocks is largely an open problem. This article proposes a new kind of process network for application modeling, called Hierarchical Process Network. With properties such as abstraction, composition, synchronization and sequencing, hierarchy helps to describe stream-processing applications and deduce parameters such as throughput and buffer sizes more precisely. Real-time is explicit, as well as adaptable degrees of synchronous behavior.
