Abstract

In this work we summarize some of the applications of so-called Paraconsistent logics, mainly one class of them, the paraconsistent annotated logics. Roughly speaking such systems allow inconsistencies in a non-trivial manner in its interior; so it is suitable to handle themes in which inconsistencies become a central issue, like pattern recognition, non-monotonic reasoning, defeasible reasoning, deontic reasoning, multi-agent systems including distributed systems, collective computation, among a variety of themes.
