In this two-part paper we describe the ongoing standardization work on designing an autonomicity-enabled mesh architecture framework. This is work in progress being carried out by the AFI (Autonomic network engineering for the self-managing Future Internet) working group of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). In the first part (a separate paper), we briefly described the AFI GANA (Generic Autonomic Network Architecture) Reference Model for autonomic network engineering, cognition and self-management, and discussed general instantiation issues. In this second part we describe the steps needed to accomplish an instantiation of GANA onto wireless mesh networks - thereby creating an autonomicity-enabled wireless mesh architecture. Additionally, we present an example use case showcasing autonomic cooperative networking.
