“…Since the pioneering work by Salamon (1993), numerical simulation of seismicity made remarkable progress. In the past decade, modeling of seismic and aseismic events has got increasing applications in industry to better interpret observed seismicity, quantify uncertain parameters, play scenarios, improve design and planning, control safety in mines and increase efficiency of hydraulic fracturing (Du et al, 2008;Dobroskok and Linkov, 2006;Cipolla et al, 2011;Kresse et al, 2011;Malovichko, 2013;Malovichko and Basson, 2014;Linkov et al, 2016).…”
