According to a recent study by HIIT and UC Berkeley researchers, fear of owing a debt of gratitude and a reluctance to ask for help are slowing the success of online services that facilitate joint use, borrowing and exchange of services. People who engage in exchange activities were not as concerned about becoming the target of unfair accusations about being a ‘free rider’.

The Scientific American features section (13/12/12) covers the PSIRP and PURSUIT research projects led by HIIT.
The new Information-Centric Network (ICN) designs propose to make the network more content aware and thus reduce operating costs, improve efficiency, and mitigate attacks against the networks.

- "The PSIRP projects laid the foundations for publish/subscribe style information-centric networking" says professor Sasu
Tarkoma, one of the original proposers of the PSIRP project.
