SBAC-PAD 2015 will be held in Florianópolis, SC, Brazil. Known as "the  
Island of Magic", Florianópolis is the favorite destination for  
tourism in the Southern part of Brazil. Florianópolis is known by its  
42 beautiful beaches, special resorts, historical buildings,  
environmental protected areas, and by an economy strongly based on  
information technology.
