The '''BAA''' (British APL Association) was founded in 1984 to promote the APL family of interactive array-programming languages derived from [[Ken Iverson]]’s [[mathematical notation|Iverson notation]]. As a group, it organises regular events around the UK and encourages participation from as many people as possible.  
The '''British APL Association''' ('''BAA'''; infrequently '''BAPLA''') is a [[user group]] founded in 1984 in England to promote APL, and the publisher of Vector journal. It is funded by its sustaining members, which include corporate users and the APL [[vendors]] [[APL2000]], [[Dyalog Ltd.]], [[Kx Systems]], and MicroAPL.
 
The BAA was a Specialist Group of the [[wikipedia:British Computer Society|British Computer Society]] from its early years (possibly beginning after [[APL86]]<ref>Anthony Camacho. [http://archive.vector.org.uk/art10500330 "BAA Annual General Meeting 2010"]. Vector journal volume 24 issue 4. 2010-12.</ref>) until it left in response to increasing requirements made by the BCS in 2008.<ref>Paul Grosvenor. [http://archive.vector.org.uk/art10011900 "Changes at the BAA" (pdf)]. Vector journal volume 23 issue 4. 2008-09.</ref>

From 1985 until 2016, BAA published 25 volumes of a journal with submitted articles on array programming, which took over from [[APL Quote Quad]] as being the de-facto leading publishing channel for APL-related materials. BAA has lately switched to electronic publishing.
In 1984, BAA publised the first issues of Vector journal, which gradually took the place of [[APL Quote Quad]] as the de-facto leading publishing channel for APL content. The journal featured submitted articles on array programming including [[J]] and [[K]], as well as news from APL and other array language vendors. Beginning in 2005, with volume 21 issue 4, the journal was issued online as well as in print, and some prior articles have also been made available online.<ref>Stephen Taylor. [http://archive.vector.org.uk/art10009870 "Editorial: Discover, Learn, Profit"]. Vector journal volume 21 issue 4. 2005-09.</ref> It was published quarterly until 2004, when late and sometimes skipped issues began to interrupt its formerly regular schedule. Releases slowed more significantly after 2008, and in 2016, following the completion of volume 26, the journal moved entirely to online publishing. So far a single issue has been published this way, in 2019.
