Supporting reflective practitioners

The theme and title for this panel is inspired by Donald Schon's writings about the reflective practitioner in which he describes professional practice as being a process of reflection in action. Ill-defined problems including design decisions lead to breakdowns, which become opportunities for reflection and modification of practice. This panel seeks to provide ICSE attendees with a broad cross section of the history, state of the art, and open issues with some of the methods and tools directed at supporting reflective software practitioners.
