The availability of micro-sensors and low-power wireless communications enable the deployment of distributed sensor networks-for a wide range of applications. Considering the great potential of distributed wireless sensor networks in civil domains, this paper gives an idea about the application of wireless sensor networks in campus and analyzes the benefits that the sensor networks bring. Taking the Central China Normal University for example, we consider the specialty of campus and design the model of the campus sensor network in detail, which includes indoor and outdoor placement of sensor n...
