Heterogeneous systems are systems with different kind components in the system. All these components have different capabilities or functions than the other components (Burback, 1998). From a medical/chemistry point of view a heterogeneous system could have different phases, such as a suspension (Stedman’s medical dictionary, 2002). Semiotics helps to approach the heterogeneous systems as a self- referential and –organizing system. This means that these systems can work on their own (Noe & Fjelsted Alrøe, 2006).
For example farms are heterogeneous systems. This is because they consist of different features. In a farm you have animals, machines, soil, persons, (safety) regulations, market strategy, knowledge et cetera (Noe & Fjelsted Alrøe, 2006).
