                         denominated Clustering Search (CS), that consists of detecting 
                         dynamically promising regions in the search space based on the 
                         frequence that are sampled in these regions the solutions 
                         originated from the metaheuristic. A iterative clustering process 
                         is executed in ensembling the metaheuristic, grouping the similar 
                         solutions and keeping solutions that are representative to the 
                         clusters. The promising regions must be explored as soon as they 
                         are discovered, by means of local search heuristics. Some 
                         applications of CS are proposed in different combinatorial 
                         optimization problems found in literature like the Capacitated 
                         p-Median Problem, Capacitated Centred Clustering Problem, Prize 
                         Collecting Traveling Salesman Problem and the Assembly Line Worker 
                         Assignment and Balancing Problem. These problems have different 
                         characteristics and particularities, therefore, it is possible to 
                         analyse the behavior of CS in several situations. In these 
                         approaches different metaheuristics are utilized to generate 
                         solutions for the clustering process of CS, and also a generator 
                         method of random solutions. The computational tests present the 
                         potential of CS for resolving these optimization problems, putting 
                         it as an alternative for the problems that demand to be solved in 
                         an approximate form and in a competitive computational time. 
                         Conclusions regarding the components and parameters of CS are also 
                         presented.",
