At Carnegie Mellon we have been running a "PROBE" on Parallel Thinking. The idea is to try to identify the core ideas in parallelism (the "wheat") and how they fit together. By core we mean an idea that is likely to still be important 20 or even 50 years from now. The goal is to help guide curricula development but hopefully such a study can be more generally useful.
