The Cisco Unified Multi-Modal Contact Applications (MMCA) platform is a highly scalable, modular, extensible, open and secure platform for providing contact center applications. The Cisco Unified Expert Advisor (CUEA) is implemented on this platform. The Cisco Unified Expert Advisor application is deployed on multiple devices that form a cluster, where each device could be classified as 'Runtime' or 'Reporting'. Each device hosts a set of services and each service performs a specific task. Not all services will be running on every device. The CISCO-MMODAL-CONTACT-APPS-MIB defines the instrumentation of the services present in the Cisco Unified Expert Advisor. The MIB mainly consists of the run-time statistics of each service and also defines a Notification format. It also defines various groups of objects that are not specific to a service. DEFINITION OF TERMS AND ACRONYMS ACD Automatic Call Distributor ACMI Advanced Contact Management Interface. The interface used by the ICM to talk to generic peripherals. Also known as GED-188 Agent An Agent, also known as Expert Advisor, is a person in the enterprise who is capable of handling calls from CUEA AQ Assignment Queue Assignment Queue Assignment Queues allow Cisco Unified ICM to route call requests to groups of expert advisors. Various experts may qualify for various assignment queues based on the assignment queue membership rules, and they then log in or out of, as well as change their availability with respect to those assignment queues. An expert advisor who is available on a given assignment queue is able to be considered by the Work Assigner to receive calls according to the assignment queue's selection strategy. Attribute Definition Attributes Definitions are used by assignment queues and expert advisors. Attributes are defined by CUEA administrators and assigned to assignment queues and expert advisors. Expert advisors are routed call requests if the expert advisor's skills and attributes match those of the Assignment Queue.
