We would like to invite you to contribute to the special three-track event on "Qualitative Research and Integrating Academic Activities: Research, Education and Real Life Problem Solving" (QR-IAA 2018) being organized in the context of 22^nd World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics: WMSCI 2018 (http://www.iiis-info2018.org/wmsci) and its collocated events, to be held on July 8 – 11, 2018, in Orlando, Florida, USA.

The submission deadlines are April 6, 2018 for the abstract (200-400 words), and April 17, 2018 for the full draft paper. Abstracts should be sent attached to an email addressed to qriaa (at) iiis.org. Otherwise, they will not be processed. Please do not send them by replying to this e-mail. More details, other deadlines and suggested topics can be found in the detailed Call for Papers posted at : http://www.iiis-info2018.org/cfp-qriaa2018.asp. This link will also provide you with three URLs related to each to the following tracks so you can make your full draft paper submission to the most adequate one according to the content of your submission and your objectives:

• Integrating Academic Activities: Research, Education and Real Life Problem Solving (IREPS 2018)
• Research and Consulting, Research via consulting and consulting via research (RC 2018)
• Qualitative Research and Methodologies in Science and Engineering (QRMSE 2018)

Publications:

1. All accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings. WMSCI proceedings have been yearly indexed by Elsevier-SCOPUS since 2005.
2. The best 25%-35% of the papers will also be published, with no additional cost, in the Journal of Systemic, Cybernetics, and Informatics (JSCI), which has been re-accepted for its listing and indexation by the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) who informed us few months ago that "Many aggregators, databases, libraries, publishers and search portals collect our free metadata and include it in their products. Examples are Scopus, Serial Solutions and EBSCO." Since we are proving DOAJ with the Journal's metadata then all articles published in JSCI will be reached by many aggregators and indexing organization. DOAJ affirms that their "statistics show more than 900 000 page views and 300 000 unique visitors a month to DOAJ from all over the world."
3. All papers will also be reviewed by the journal's reviewers for their publication in the special issue of the journal. This publication would require no additional charge to the authors, but it might require and additional editing process.
