The traditional fuzzy Petri nets (FPNs) rarely contain the affective features when making reasoning decisions, primarily because the existing affective computing model is not suitable to be described directly in FPNs. In order to solve this problem, this paper introduces an attribute coordinate system and puts forward the affective representation and computing model based on the extraction and integration relationship between the attributes of things, which describes the affective change curve according to the cognition of the thinking subject to the attributes of the decision object. With this new model of affective computing, it is more convenient to utilize a qualitative mapping model and fuzzy qualitative judgment rules to express affective decisions and conveniently describe affective attributes in FPNs. A reasoning decision case illustrates the proposed method's feasibility and advantages.
