  Linear Logic and Defeasible Logic have been adopted to formalise different
features of knowledge representation: consumption of resources, and non
monotonic reasoning in particular to represent exceptions. Recently, a
framework to combine sub-structural features, corresponding to the consumption
of resources, with defeasibility aspects to handle potentially conflicting
information, has been discussed in literature, by some of the authors. Two
applications emerged that are very relevant: energy management and business
process management. We illustrate a set of guide lines to determine how to
apply linear defeasible logic to those contexts.
