  text: Nowadays we deal with robots and AI more and more in our everyday life. However,
    their behavior is not always apparent to most lay users, especially in error situations.
    This can lead to misconceptions about the behavior of the technologies being used.
    This in turn can lead to misuse and rejection by users. Explanation, for example
    through transparency, can address these misconceptions. However, explaining the
    entire software or hardware would be confusing and overwhelming for users. Therefore,
    this paper focuses on the ‘enabling’ architecture. It describes those aspects
    of a robotic system that may need to be explained to enable someone to use the
    technology effectively. Furthermore, this paper deals with the ‘explanandum’,
    i.e. the corresponding misunderstandings or missing concepts of the enabling architecture
    that need to be clarified. Thus, we have developed and are presenting an approach
    to determine the ‘enabling’ architecture and the resulting ‘explanandum’ of complex
    technologies.
