Current situation and development of China Campus Card System

The Campus Card System (CCS) based on the smart card technologies can help the campus administration to improve management efficiency and offer convenience to users. This paper seeks to examine the area of Campus Card System in China, providing an overview of the system evolution and current researches. An outline of the main challenges is given along. This paper is based on a comprehensive review of literature that is analyzed to identify current trends and future research directions in the field. Most of the papers concentrated on the application studies including system architecture and integration, realization of operational applications and security strategy. It appears that today´s CCS is application-centric in nature. However, this solution has difficulty in utilizing the information resource and refining knowledge. Therefore, it is suggested that more attention be paid to the new smart card technologies and application innovation, information resources utilization and intelligent in the near future.
