DESCRIPTION:Observations of the solar corona have come a long way in the l
 ast\ncouple of decades: emission images of the EUV and X-ray corona are no
 w\nroutinely available (e.g.\, from Hinode EIS and XRT\, STEREO/EUVI\, SOH
 O/\nEIT\, Yohkoh SXT).  At the same time\, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)\ncomp
 utations of the corona have advanced considerably: it is now\npossible to 
 simulate emission in the global corona and active\nregions.  This confluen
 ce provides unique opportunities to test models\nversus observations\, to 
 achieve a deeper understanding of the\nproperties of the corona\, and in p
 articular\, to constrain the largely\nunknown mechanism of coronal heating
 .  We will describe how we compare\nan MHD model with observations\, the l
 imitations of the approach\, and\nwhat future prospects exist.
