Many companies opt for reusing existing software development artifacts
due to the benefits of the reuse such as increasing productivity, shortening time-to-market, and spending less time for testing, debugging, to name but a few. Unfortunately, reusing artifacts in existing process-driven SOA technologies is cumbersome and hard to achieve due to several inhibitors. First, the languages
used for business process development are not intentionally designed for reuse. Second, numerous tangled process concerns embraced in a process description significantly hinder the understanding and reusing of its concepts and elements. Third, there is a lack of appropriate methods and techniques for integrating reusable artifacts. In our previous work, we proposed a view-based,
model-driven approach for addressing the two former challenges. We present in this paper a named-based view integration approach aiming at solving the third one. Preliminary qualitative and quantitative evaluations of four use cases extracted from industrial processes show that this approach can enhance the flexibility and automation of reusing process development artifacts.
