In this paper we introduce model-based search as a unifying framework accommodating some recently proposed metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization such as ant colony optimization, stochastic gradient ascent, cross-entropy and estimation of distribution methods. We discuss similarities as well as distinctive features of each method and we propose some extensions.
