RETRAI 2025 is excited to announce the first edition of the multidisciplinary workshop on Requirements Engineering for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (RETRAI) on September 1st, 2025, in Valencia, Spain.
The workshop will bring together researchers from the humanities, social sciences, computer science, and industry to collaboratively discuss the challenges involved in designing and engineering trustworthy AI systems. Researchers from disciplines such as philosophy, psychology, sociology, law, computer science, engineering, and related fields are encouraged to apply.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
💡 Requirements elicitation for trustworthy AI systems
💡 Managing evolving requirements: adapting to legislative changes or societal progress
💡 Requirements for open capability AI-based systems (e.g., LLM-based systems)
💡 Prioritisation of requirements for trustworthy AI
💡 Trade-offs in defining trustworthiness properties
💡 Challenges and needs in gathering requirements for trustworthy AI
💡 Customisable, parameterisable, and universal ethical or empathetic requirements
💡 Social, legal, and cultural requirements for trustworthy AI
💡 Managing interactions between individual, group, and universal ethical requirements
💡 Requirements engineering approaches for trustworthy AI systems
💡 Teaching Trustworthy AI
Call for Papers
RETRAI 2025 is the first Requirements Engineering (RE) workshop that specifically addresses the specification, debugging, and compliance of requirements for trustworthy AI-based systems. As the interaction between these systems and humans continues to grow, the importance of embedding trustworthiness considerations into the design and development process becomes increasingly important. The workshop aims to discuss the challenges associated with developing trustworthy AI systems and highlights the necessity of engaging the requirements engineering community in tackling these issues.
Paper submission guidelines
We accept papers in four categories:
- Short papers (3-4 pages) that state the authors’ position within the scope of the workshop and may describe solution concepts in a preliminary state.
- Full papers (6-10 pages) that address problems, needs, novel approaches, and frameworks relevant to the workshop. Evaluations of new approaches must be included in full papers. Empirical evaluation papers and industrial experience reports are also welcome submissions.
- Case-study papers that present a specific AI-based system, along with the corresponding trustworthy requirements.
- Extended abstracts that present teaching materials or tutorials on trustworthy AI.
All papers submitted to the RETRAI 2025 workshop must be written in English, in PDF format and must conform to the IEEEtran Proceedings Format. LaTeX users: please use the LaTeX class file IEEEtran v1.8 and the following configuration (without option ‘compsoc’ or ‘compsocconf’): \documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}.
Word users: please use this Word template.
