ASBOS is modeled as an orchestration layer above existing systems of record. Agents do not directly overwrite authoritative payroll, licensing, or client records without policy checks.

Six core agents

  1. Workforce Scheduling Agent — proposes assignments and explains constraint violations.
  2. Emergency Shift Coverage Voice Agent — contacts ranked replacements with approved disclosures.
  3. Timesheet and Payroll Agent — reconciles shifts, clock events, and pay rules into a review queue.
  4. Report Generation Agent — drafts summaries traceable to source events or marked as inference.
  5. Compliance and Human Resources Agent — tracks credentials and site eligibility.
  6. Billing and Client Relationship Agent — prepares invoice lines from verified service delivery.

Revised research question

Integrated workforce platforms already automate many connected functions. The research question is whether a security-specific, event-driven multi-agent layer can:

  • coordinate cross-system workflows within policy bounds;
  • preserve auditability;
  • escalate risk appropriately; and
  • demonstrate better outcomes in a controlled field study.

Status

Conceptual research framework and simulator. No production field trial completed.
