            Abstract : 
In order to model flexible hybrid systems behaviour, we propose a new model theoretical tool. It is an extension of coloured Petri nets and of batches Petri nets, called coloured batches Petri nets. Similarly to batches Petri nets, this tool is essentially used as a simulation model. The accuracy is maximum
