In addition to the annual Symposium, MORS conducts special meetings to address significant and complex problems. For these issue-specific workshops and mini-symposia, MORS defines the problem in advance in a document entitled a Terms of Reference (TOR). Participants with specific interest and expertise collaboratively share information about the problem, discuss issues in depth and work together to produce useful results. Arrangements and products for each meeting are tailored to best accomplish its specific purpose. The number of attendees may range from a dozen to over 300. Some meetings are classified. Some are held jointly with another professional organization such as the International Test and Evaluation Association (ITEA) or the Society of Cost Estimating and Analysis (SCEA). Since the first MORS Workshop in January 1985, MORS has held two to five special meetings each year.
