BoA is a newly designed software package for the reading, handling, and analysis of bolometer array data. Its design and implementation is a collaborative effort of scientist at the MPIfR, AIfA and AIRUB that was started in 2002. The primary goal of BoA is to handle data from LABOCA at APEX, both for online visualization and offline processing. BoA can also be used to process data acquired with other instruments such as ASZCa at APEX or MAMBO at the IRAM 30-meter telescope. BoA includes most of the relevant functionalities of the current reduction packages (MOPSIC, NIC, SURF). The major difference to them is that BoA is written in a programming environment that is easier to modify, maintain, and re-use. Moreover, BoA naturally interface with APECS and the MBfits format.

BoA is in part financed by a Verbundforschung grant by the German Ministry of Research and Education (BMBF) to the MPIfR and AIRUB to build LABOCA, a large bolometer array facility camera for APEX.
