Second International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Explainable Systems (RE4ES)
RE4ES is co-located with the 30th IEEE International Requirements Engineering Conference (RE 2022) Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (virtual event with a local hub)
About RE4ES
Explainability has become a hot topic and communities from different areas of knowledge have been researching it actively. The primary purposes of this workshop are to advance RE for explainable systems, build a community, and foster interdisciplinary exchange. We believe that the methods and techniques of the RE community would add a lot of value to the explainability research and also ensure that we develop such techniques in parallel to the needs of other communities. This workshop should work as a starting point in exploring synergies between the RE community and other communities that are already actively researching explainability. To achieve that, our agenda will be based on a mix of paper presentations, keynotes, and interactive activities to stimulate lively discussions.
Ahhh, how wonderful that the workshop will have another edition, isn't it? 😍
And how wonderful that we have a call for papers open and you can send your contributions! 🤩🎉🥳

During the activities and discussions of our first edition, we explored research directions for explainability. We analyzed the results of this discussion and developed an explainability research roadmap, which we summarized in a publication: https://rdcu.be/cIKhm
Advance RE4ES
Community Building
This workshop aims to establish and strengthen links in the community and foster communication between researchers working in the different fields that research on explainability. We can interactively compare the state of the art, understand research gaps, and inspire new work.
Interdisciplinary Exchange
We have a vision of bringing researchers from different disciplines together to learn from them and propose solutions that fit the reality of research and practice. We are convinced that with the help of other research disciplines we can make a major contribution towards explainable software and explainable systems.
Local Hub
While the main conference will be a virtual event, the workshop will take place as a hybrid event with a local hub in Oldenburg, Germany.
Oldenburg is a modern university city that is located in the northwest of Germany between the North Sea, Hamburg and the Dutch border.
Here are a few pictures that will give you an idea of Oldenburg’s charm.

In spite of its modern orientation, Oldenburg is still very proud of its historical roots and buildings, delightful traditions and warm, friendly charm. You too will be enchanted by Oldenburg’s lively old city centre with its shopper-friendly pedestrian zone and historic architectural highlights reaching back over five centuries. Visit its renowned museums and theatres, high-profile festivals and popular markets from the market fair to the Christmas market. Not far from Oldenburg on the North Sea coast lies the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park – a real special feature! Day trips to the spa town of Dangast or to an East Frisian island are a good idea.
