Korolev, Nikolay, Ristock, Herbert and Anisimov, Nikolay (2008): Modeling and Simulation of a Pacing Engine for Proactive Campaigns in Contact Center Environment. In: Zaluski, Marek (ed.) Business and Industry Symposium BIS April 14 -17, 2008, Ottawa, Canada. pp. 249-255. Available online
Proactive contact campaigns play a growing role in modern contact centers. Their traditional usage as a telemarketing tool now is widely extended to different types of service notifications. In this paper we describe the most common model of a proactive telephone contact campaign, suggest several methods of its pacing algorithm and present simulation results.

Anisimov, Nikolay, Galvin, Brian and Ristock, Herbert (2007): XML-based multimodal interaction framework for contact center applications. In: Proceedings of the 2007 International Conference on the World Wide Web 2007. pp. 1349-1350. Available online
In this paper, we consider a way to represent contact center applications as a set of multiple XML documents written in different markups including VoiceXML and CCXML. Applications can comprise a dialog with IVR, call routing and agent scripting functionalities. We also consider ways how such applications can be executed in run-time contact center environment.

W3C languages, VoiceXML and CCXML all play an important role in contact centers (CC) by simplifying the creation of CC applications. However, they cover only a subset of contact center functions, such as simple call control and interactive voice response (IVR) with automatic speech recognition. We discuss ways to complement VoiceXML and CCXML in order to cover all necessary contact center functions required to script end-to-end interactions in a consistent and seamless way. For this purpose we introduce an XML forms-based framework called XContact comprising the CC platform and applications, multi-script and multi-browsing, and interaction data processing. We also discuss how routing as a key CC capability can be scripted/captured within such framework in order to demonstrate the overall approach.

Anisimov, Nikolay, Kishinski, Konstantin and Miloslavski, Alec (1999): Formal Model, Language and Tool for Design Agent's Scenarios in Call Center Systems. In: Proceedingd of the 32nd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-99) January 4-8, 1999, Maui, Hawaii, USA. pp. 1-9. Available online
During the last few years there continues to be remarkable growth in telephone call-center systems. There are many appli-cations of call-centers in different areas of business such as in telemarketing, insurance, customer service, electronic com-merce, etc. Moreover, in some cases it is reasonable to think of a call-center as an integrated part of a whole business sys-tem responsible for the telephone interface with the outside world. Typically, a call center consists of a set of operators, called agents, who process inbound calls from clients. Call processing may involve the use of computer systems (e.g. data-base), other devises (e.g. fax-machines, interactive voice response units) as well as communication with other agents (e.g. deliver a call to more qualified agent, making a consulted call). The call processing may also produce outbound calls. The treatment of each call being processed is heavily regulated by scenarios called scripts which are specially designed for specific kinds of the calls. The design of such scripts is one of the main problems in call center maintenance. To cope with this problem we need special tools, i.e., scripting language, corresponding editor, related environment. In this paper we present an ongoing project aimed at the design of such a platform. We introduce a Petri net-based model for formal repre-sentation of scripts and a logical structure of the call center. The model, called script-net, is based on object-oriented Petri net dialect belonging to a class of high-level Petri nets. In particular, the model allows one to formally represent scripts, their communication with agents and other resources, exception handling, time constrains. We also consider some imple-mentation issues. In particular, we outline a visual iconic language specially designed for script specification. The seman-tics of the language is based on script-nets. An agent of the call center can be perceived as a specific resource which is implemented with the aid of Internet/Intranet technology. To illustrate the use of suggested tools, some typical examples of scripts are presented including scenarios for inbound and outbound telemarketing.

Anisimov, Nikolay, Miloslavski, Alec and Pogosyants, Greg (1998): Feature Interaction Problem in Computer Telephony Integration Systems. In: "Feature Interactions in Telecommunications and Software systems V". IOS Press pp. 73-77
In this paper we describe an ongoing project aimed at investigating the impact of
feature interaction problems on computer telephony integration (CTI). As a representative and
sophisticated example of CTI we use a call center. We outline a typical structure of a callcenter
that comprises computing and telephony equipment, software and personnel. We then
discuss the specific features of call centers to show how they influence the feature interaction
issue in a new framework. We also discuss possible ways to cope with feature interaction
problems on three levels: the requirement, specification and implementation levels. In particular
we stress the need to flexibly specify a manipulation with telephone features during a call
processing and suggest using a graphical icon language to specify call center operator behavior.
