This work, titled Next Generation Engineering: Smart Solutions and Applications, is a periodical scientific publication consisting of carefully selected and invited chapters in its field. This edition brings together 17 different scientific studies focusing on nextgeneration engineering solutions in the fields of Engineering, Basic Sciences, and Advanced Technology. All chapters submitted to the book have been rigorously reviewed by at least two international referees to ensure the highest level of scientific quality and originality. The main objective of this book is to provide readers with a scientifically strong, peerreviewed, and up-to-date publication in the fields of basic sciences, engineering, and advanced technology. The book Next Generation Engineering: Smart Solutions and Applications compile brand new ideas and applications concerning advanced engineering and smart solutions. The work sheds light on the future of engineering disciplines by presenting innovative approaches in Aerospace Engineering, Biomedical and Health Technologies, Embedded Systems and Energy Efficiency studies, artificial intelligence-based optimization, image processing (YOLO), and natural language processing (NLP) applications, and Communication Technologies (data compression, video compression). In this book, besides modeling real system behaviors with artificial intelligence-based learning algorithms, detailed studies on smart systems developed and implemented using embedded systems for the health, manufacturing, and service sectors are discussed. Furthermore, original scientific studies including the contributions that can be made with artificial intelligence and meta-heuristic optimization techniques to problems that may be encountered in different disciplines are presented to the readers’ attention. We hope that the book will arouse curiosity about science and technology, be useful to new scientists, science readers, and anyone who wants to learn the mystery of science and make a significant contribution to the literature in these fields.
