Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Space time processes are useful models to describe earthquake occurrences. Many of these models are Hawkes models, or epidemic type ones, such as ETAS (epidemic type aftershock sequences). In these models, long-term components are usually modeled with inhomogeneous Poisson components, while short-term components, related to aftershock sequences, are modeled with intensities decreasing in time, either with parametric or nonparametric space time components.
The possibility of short-term forecasting is related to this kind of components; furthermore, in recent decades, there has been the possibility of explaining some of these components by means of other observable variables, such as GPS positions, fault systems, seismic waveforms, and so on. Another interesting problem connected with the analysis of seismic waveforms is the problem of early warning.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
