    biology have been proposed to disseminate or transfer data in mobile or
    static ad-hoc networks. Many of them are designed for usage in wireless
    sensor networks or vehicular ad-hoc networks. Recently, we have
    developed and designed a general purpose data dissemination protocol
    called AutoCast in this field that we evaluated in detail by
    simulations. When we started to use AutoCast in real applications, we
    found out that the description of AutoCast is incomplete, as we provided
    the algorithms of AutoCast in details but did neither provide nor
    describe a suitable Application Programming Interface (API) and AutoCast
    was closely coupled to the application. The focus of this article is
    twofold. First, we propose an appropriate API to encapsulate data
    dissemination protocols like AutoCast and we specify the service
    interface of AutoCast in detail. This API can serve as a reference model
    for other nature and biologically inspired data dissemination approaches
    and applications. Second, we evaluate two applications based on our API
    with AutoCast in the field of wireless sensor networks and vehicular
    ad-hoc networks to illustrate the usage of the API and demonstrate the
    flexibility of this approach.",
