Given that I and others are always complaining about Dmitry redefining terms 
to his liking, I have to make the same complaint about this "definition". 
Hetrogeneous systems are those with dissimiliar processing elements, period, 
and there is relevance to how they're related.

What you're describing above is a classic client-server relationship (and 
the subset of that known as service-oriented archtecture). Just one of many 
design patterns, and one that is way over-hyped (it has it's uses, but it 
isn't the answer to every problem).
