Welcome to the First International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Explainable Systems (RE4ES)

Welcome to the First International Workshop on Requirements Engineering for Explainable Systems (RE4ES), where we aim to advance requirements engineering (RE) for explainable systems, foster interdisciplinary exchange, and build a community. On the one hand, we believe that the methods and techniques of the RE community can add much value to explainability research. On the other hand, we have to ensure that we develop techniques fitted to the needs of other communities.This first workshop explores synergies between the RE community and other communities already researching explainability.To this end, we have based our agenda on a mix of paper presentations from authors of different domains, one keynote from industry and one from research, as well as interactive activities to stimulate lively discussions
