The BCJR algorithm is named in the honour of its four originators: Bahl, Jelinek, and Raviv who coauthored the first forward-backward method for implementing maximum a posterior probability decoding in 1974.
As the MAP algorithm includes forward-backward recursion so it is also referred as the BCJR algorithm in recoginition of its originators. In simple words, MAP algorithm involves a double recursion, consequently it has at least twice the complexity of the Viterbi algorithm in itsmost general form. However, it produces soft outputs,a feature that is the key to its usefulness in the turbo decoding algorithm[1].
For further information see the reference below.
[1]: For the MAP algorithm, see the book "Modern Wireless Communications" by S. Haykin and M. Moher, chapter 4, page 219 to 222. The complete description and implementation of the MAP algorithm is in these 3 pages.

Hi,
sorry i forget to put the name of Cocke while mentioning the authors of BCJR algorithm. Please include this as well.
