İlgili araştırma, yapay zeka konusunda Türkiye’de üniversite kütüphanesi yöneticilerinden görüş ve öneri alarak gerçekleştirilen ilk ve en kapsamlı çalışmadır. Araştırma bulguları, üniversite kütüphanelerinin ChatGPT, Gemini, Grammarly vb. yapay zeka uygulamalarını belirli düzeyde kullandıklarını ancak yapay zeka ile ilgili kurumsal politika geliştirme, personele yetkinlik kazandırma ve planlama konularında ihtiyaçlarının olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır.Review Citation - WoS: 244Citation - Scopus: 442Transformative Effects of Iot, Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence on Cloud Computing: Evolution, Vision, Trends and Open Challenges(Elsevier, 2019) Gill, Sukhpal Singh; Tuli, Shreshth; Xu, Minxian; Singh, Inderpreet; Singh, Karan Vijay; Lindsay, Dominic; Garraghan, PeterCloud computing plays a critical role in modern society and enables a range of applications from infrastructure to social media. Such system must cope with varying load and evolving usage reflecting societies' interaction and dependency on automated computing systems whilst satisfying Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. Enabling these systems are a cohort of conceptual technologies, synthesized to meet demand of evolving computing applications. In order to understand current and future challenges of such system, there is a need to identify key technologies enabling future applications. In this study, we aim to explore how three emerging paradigms (Blockchain, IoT and Artificial Intelligence) will influence future cloud computing systems. Further, we identify several technologies driving these paradigms and invite international experts to discuss the current status and future directions of cloud computing. Finally, we proposed a conceptual model for cloud futurology to explore the influence of emerging paradigms and technologies on evolution of cloud computing. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

However, universities and technopoles are part of open innovation that can encourage experimental IoT and smart system projects in places. This research considers the challenges and advantages of developing intelligent environments with smart systems in the Technology Development Zones (TDZs) of Turkey. The growth of Silicon Valley has inspired many technopoles in different countries. Thus, the article includes first a comprehensive survey of the story of Silicon Valley and the emerging technological potential of open and responsible innovation for intelligent spaces and technoparks with rising innovative interest. The study then conducts empirical research in inspecting the performance of TDZs in Turkey. In the research, machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI) models are applied in the analyses of critical performance indicators for encouraging incentives and investments in innovative attempts and productivity in TDZs; the challenges, potential, and need for intelligent spaces are evaluated accordingly. This article also reports on the minority of the design staff and the lack of innovation in developing intelligent spaces in the organization of the creative class in Turkey. Consequently, the research proposes a set of implementations for deploying intelligent spaces to be practiced in new and existing TDZs by considering their potential for sustainable and responsible innovation.Article Citation - WoS: 1Applications of Artificial Intelligence as a Prognostic Tool in the Management of Acute Aortic Syndrome and Aneurysm: A Comprehensive Review(MDPI, 2025) Ayhan, Cagri; Mekhaeil, Marina; Channawi, Rita; Ozcan, Alp Eren; Akargul, Elif; Deger, Atakan; Soliman, OsamaAcute Aortic Syndromes (AAS) and Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA) remain among the most fatal cardiovascular emergencies, with mortality rising by the hour if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Despite advances in imaging and surgical techniques, current clinical decision-making still relies heavily on population-based parameters such as maximum aortic diameter, which fail to capture the biological and biomechanical complexity underlying these conditions. In today's data-rich era, where vast clinical, imaging, and biomarker datasets are available, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool to process this complexity and enable precision risk prediction. To date, AI has been applied across multiple aspects of aortic disease management, with mortality prediction being the most widely investigated. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models-particularly ensemble algorithms and biomarker-integrated approaches-have frequently outperformed traditional clinical tools such as EuroSCORE II and GERAADA. These models provide superior discrimination and interpretability, identifying key drivers of adverse outcomes. However, many studies remain limited by small sample sizes, single-center design, and lack of external validation, all of which constrain their generalizability. Despite these challenges, the consistently strong results highlight AI's growing potential to complement and enhance existing prognostic frameworks. Beyond mortality, AI has expanded the scope of analysis to the structural and biomechanical behavior of the aorta itself. Through integration of imaging, radiomic, and computational modeling data, AI now allows virtual representation of aortic mechanics-enabling prediction of aneurysm growth rate, remodeling after repair, and even rupture risk and location. Such models bridge data-driven learning with mechanistic understanding, creating an opportunity to simulate disease progression in a virtual environment. In addition to mortality and growth-related outcomes, morbidity prediction has become another area of rapid development. AI models have been used to assess a wide range of postoperative complications, including stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, prolonged hospitalization, reintubation, and paraplegia-showing that predictive applications are limited only by clinical imagination. Among these, acute kidney injury (AKI) has received particular attention, with several robust studies demonstrating high accuracy in early identification of patients at risk for severe renal complications. To translate these promising results into real-world clinical use, future work must focus on large multicenter collaborations, external validation, and adherence to transparent reporting standards such as TRIPOD-AI. Integration of explainable AI frameworks and dynamic, patient-specific modeling-potentially through the development of digital twins-will be essential for achieving real-time clinical applicability. Ultimately, AI holds the potential not only to refine risk prediction but to fundamentally transform how we understand, monitor, and manage patients with AAS and TAA.
