Abstract: In this expository paper, we discuss some applications of the paraconsistent annotated logics (PAL). PAL is a 2-sorted logic that can build a programming language allowing manipulated impreciseness, inconsistencies and paracompleteness in its interior. Also, with suitable rules, it is possible to deal with defesiable-deontic reasoning and many monotonic and non-monotonic reasoning. Also, it is useful to obtain logical frameworks for usual modal systems and in this paper we discuss aspects of them, showing the power of these logical systems.

Keywords: paraconsistent logics; annotated logics; non-classical logics; applications; paraconsistency; impreciseness; inconsistencies; logical systems.
