We present distinguishing characteristics (i.e. autonomy, belonging,
connectivity, diversity, and emergence), that can help us to recognize
or to realize a System of Systems (SoS). The principle differentiation
that we make between a thing being either a `system' or a SoS focuses
on the nature of a system's composition. We will distinctly define
this set of distinguishing characteristics which will include a set
of cross references from our literature research where we believe
others are articulating our chosen differentiating characteristics.
We conclude by summarizing the difference in these terms in a fundamental
sense, one that impacts their structure, behavior and realization,
and the distinction comes from the manner in which parts and relationships
are gathered together and therefore in the nature of the emergent
whole
