This report is a summary of the First International Workshop on Combining Modelling with Search- and Example-Based Approaches (CMSEBA 2014) held at the MoDELS 2014 conference. The workshop brought together researchers from model-driven engineering and search-based software engineering. The major aims of CMSEBA 2014 were to identify motivations, problems, and requirements for combining modeling with search- and example-based approaches as well as to present different proposals supporting different kinds of model engineering tasks and how models can help as a base technology in search-based software engineering.
