This chapter concludes our book by emphasizing the scientific and technical contributions of our projects: BeeHive and BeeAdHoc. We outline our vision of extensive future research that could follow the successful conclusion of our work. We place special emphasis on an intelligent and knowledgeable router, Nature-Inspired Decentralized and Autonomous Router (NIDAR), which can become a state-of-the-art router for networks of the new millennium. Finally, we suggest that the time has come to start a Natural Engineering program in our universities in order to successfully translate novel and cost-effective nature-/bio-inspired business solutions for highly competitive markets.
