Questions asking us to recommend or find a tool, library or favorite off-site resource are off-topic for Stack Overflow as they tend to attract opinionated answers and spam. Instead, describe the problem and what has been done so far to solve it.

I did a search on Amazon, but I don't know what book should I choose. I don't want a book which put its basis only on the theoretic part; I want the practical part too (probably more than the theoretical one :) ).

If you want the algorithms to be implemented specifically in Java then there is Mitchell Waite's Series book "Data Structures & Algorithms in Java". It starts from basic data structures like linked lists, stacks and queues, and the basic algorithms for sorting and searching. Working your way through it you will eventually get to Tree data structures, Red-Black trees, 2-3 trees and Graphs.

All-in-all its not an extremely theoretical book, but if you just want an introduction in a language you are familiar with then its a good book. At the end of the day, if you want a deeper understanding of algorithms you're going to have to learn some of the more theoretical concepts, and read one of the classics, like Cormen/Leiserson/Rivest/Stein's Introduction to Algorithms.

If you don't need in a complete reference to the most part of algorithms and data structures that are in use and just want to get acquainted with common techniques I would recommend something more lightweight than Cormen, Sedgewick or Knuth. I think, Algorithms and Data Structures by N. Wirth is not as bad choice even in spite of it was printed far ago.

Many students view data structures and algorithms as difficult to understand, but this book thoroughly demystifies them. Working in Java, Robert Lafore presents each essential data structure and algorithm, using clear and simple example programs accessible through a Web browser-based "Workshop Applets." These programs demonstrate graphically exactly what each data structure looks like and how it works.

Coverage includes: arrays, stacks, queues, simple and advanced sorts, linked lists, recursion, binary trees, red-black trees, 2-3-4 trees, external storage, hash tables, heaps, weighted graphs, and more. For this edition, Lafore has rewritten each program to improve its operation, clarify the algorithms it illustrates, and reflect the latest versions of the Java 2 SDK. Lafore has also added brand-new questions and exercises at the end of every chapter. The result: students gain deep mastery over today's best practices and approaches for manipulating virtually any form of data with Java.

Robert Lafore has degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics, has worked as a systems analyst for the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, founded his own software company, and is a best-selling writer in the field of computer programming. Some of his current titles are C++ Interactive Course and Object-Oriented Programming in C++. Earlier best-selling titles include Assembly Language Primer for the IBM PC and XT and (back at the beginning of the computer revolution) Soul of CP/M.

Data Structures and Algorithms in Java, Second Edition is designed to be easy to read and understand although the topic itself is complicated. Algorithms are the procedures that software programs use to manipulate data structures. Besides clear and simple example programs, the author includes a workshop as a small demonstration program executable on a Web browser. The programs demonstrate in graphical form what data structures look like and how they operate. In the second edition, the program is rewritten to improve operation and clarify the algorithms, the example programs are revised to work with the latest version of the Java JDK, and questions and exercises will be added at the end of each chapter making the book even more useful.

Suggested solutions to the programming projects found at the end of each chapter are made available to instructors at recognized educational institutions. This educational supplement can be found at www.prenhall.com, in the Instructor Resource Center.

lImproved data management is also directly associated with improved quality assessment: a system in which one can easily find and work with the data is likely to make quality assessment easier. Inversely, a system in which finding the data is complicated will make quality assessment much harder. As a consequence, the capacity to evaluate the results of any workflow and the capacity to identify/navigate through them in a larger repository are both tightly coupled. This is especially relevant for workflows such as the ones used in neuroimaging studies, which typically combine high levels of complexity, heterogeneity (e.g., in numbers of files, nature/structure of data) on the one hand, and, on the other, a high degree of required expertise to assess their outputs. With respect to this, to date, individual research groups may choose among different strategies, essentially based on their size and allocated resources, among which:

Now that neuroscience has entered a propitious era of data and computation, practical solutions are still required to efficiently operate local databases and run tailored controls on complex type-agnostic raw and processed data.

The Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Center: general view of the imaging data flow, from patient inclusion to data sharing. Imaging and non-imaging data follow different data flows. Imaging sessions are automatically imported in XNAT from the in-house MR scanner and external PET camera. Processing workflows are sent to computational resources from the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

Imaging and non-imaging data are stored and managed in two individual platforms. Non-imaging data are imported into a relational database and follow a specific data flow that is not described here. Imaging data are directly transferred from the scanner to both a PACS archive and an XNAT platform. Extensible neuroimaging archive toolkit (XNAT) (Marcus et al., 2007) is the most broadly deployed open source system to have emerged among imaging platforms in recent history. In this context, the PACS archive is used for long-term backup purposes, preserving a pristine copy of the acquired imaging data, and for daily routine visual review and reporting by radiologists, whereas XNAT is a much more flexible system geared toward researchers, allowing transformation, automatic processing, browsing, downloading, and eventually sharing. A Clinical Trial Processor (CTP) service (Aryanto et al., 2012) is run between the MR scanner and XNAT to ensure proper de-identification of protected health information. Outsourced PET imaging data are directly pulled from the acquisition site: a daily daemon service pulls new imaging scans from an sFTP server and pushes them to the PACS archive which then auto-forward to XNAT (via CTP). The workflow is open to external collaborators, who may also push data in independently managed projects distinct from the ALFA study.

To date, XNAT is still under active development with strong community-based support, aligning with current trends in the community as shown by recent support for BIDS format and containerized data processing (e.g., using Merkel, 2014). Most users may operate the database and search the repository through the built-in web-based application. Aside from this graphical interface, XNAT provides a Representational State Transfer (REST) Application-Program Interface (API) that allows users to query the database and therefore programmatic interaction with its contents. Furthermore, the pyxnat (Schwartz et al., 2012) library capitalizes on this API and allows users to interact with XNAT using Python.

Screenshots of the #xnat channel from the Barcelonaβeta Slack workspace. (Left) Monitors provide members of the channel with daily updates on the current data available on the imaging platform without any user action. (Right) Basic human chatbot interactions give access to more specific statistics. In this example, the user is querying for the progress over time of some processing task (with DTIFIT).

We advocate for giving users multiple controlled ways to deal with data. XNAT RESTful API is one of the most powerful features of its framework and allows to build a variety of access modalities, each of which comes with pros and cons. For example, the graphical user interface gives individual and comprehensive control on the data, though manually operated; pyxnat adds a programmatic interface to it and is, therefore, rather developer-oriented; bx optimizes bulk downloading operations from scripts, yet for a set of pre-selected resources; and IM-based tools provide only high-level summarized information but add an interactive and collaborative touch and nicely intertwine with natural conversations among users.

Each step of an analysis workflow should ideally be paired with specific checkpoints. Given the increasing quantity and complexity of datasets, relying on automatic control is imperative, but manual inspection can rarely be avoided. The following approach aims at capitalizing on automatic controls while allowing multiple users to jointly participate in visual inspection.
