  A project related to securing multi-layer networks was developed with Eric Gourdin, Orange Labs, and France Telecom R&D. This project was part of Sylvie Borne's thesis (defended in 2006). The project addressed the problem of securing and scaling multi-layer networks. Collaborations on the same topic have also been undertaken within the framework as part of of Raouia Taktak's thesis. Two other projects were also considered with Orange-Labs. One of the projects was related to Amal Benhamiche’s Ph.D. thesis and focused on the dimensioning of networks using multi-band OFDM technology. The second one was withing Yassine Naghmouchi’s Ph.D. thesis, and dealing with risk management in telecommunication networks. Both projects were in collabration with Nancy Perrot.
