Abstract. q-bosonic realization of the underlying Yang-Baxter algebra is identified for a series of quantum integrable systems, including some new models like two-mode q-bosonic model leading to a coupled two-component derivative NLS model, wide range of q-deformed matter-radiation models, q-anyon model etc. Result on a new exactly solvable interacting anyon gas, linked to q-anyons on the lattice is reported.
