                            Description
                                    Prominences are intriguing, but poorly understood, magnetic structures
of the solar corona. The dynamics of solar prominences has been the
subject of a large number of studies, and of particular interest is the
study of prominence oscillations. Ground- and space-based observations
have confirmed the presence of oscillatory motions in prominences and
they have been interpreted in terms of magnetohydrodynamic waves. This
interpretation opens the door to perform prominence seismology, whose
main aim is to determine physical parameters in magnetic and plasma
structures (prominences) that are difficult to measure by direct means.
Here, we review the observational information gathered about prominence
oscillations as well as the theoretical models developed to interpret
small and large amplitude oscillations and their temporal and spatial
attenuation. Finally, several prominence seismology applications are
presented.

Numerical Simulation of Astrophysical Processes
            
    Numerical simulation through complex computer codes has been a fundamental tool in physics and technology research for decades. The rapid growth of computing capabilities, coupled with significant advances in numerical mathematics, has made this branch of research accessible to medium-sized research centers, bridging the gap between theoretical and
