It was noticed that the use of swimlines forces to put too much details in the diagram thus making it not easy to understand. With swimlines there is no place for a group of "tiny" activities which are carried out by several participants (each of them already has her/her own swimline), or "aggregated participant".
This simplified diagram is very close the pattern IPS (Initial Process Skeleton, see my book www.samarin.biz/book) and the "Approve proposal" activity is similar to the pattern DAM (Delegation Authority Matrix - see http://improving-bpm-systems.blogspot.com/2012/07/practical-process-pattern-dam.html).
Actually, we follow the pattern DIP (Decompose In Patterns - see http://improving-bpm-systems.blogspot.com/2011/06/practical-process-patterns-dip.html ).
Thanks,
