Abstract: Task allocation is a common and important problem in personnel management. In the process of allocation, it is often affected by many different constraints. One of them is the cool down time constraint. Due to the cool down time in personnel allocation or resource scheduling, it is difficult to allocate and optimize the many to many tasks in human-computer cooperation, and the collaboration effect drops sharply. The group multirole assignment (GMRA) is used to formalize the problem, and the integer programming used to decouple and eliminate the cool down time constraints. After that, IBM ILOG CPLEX optimization package (CPLEX) is used to optimize the team execution. In addition, in the large-scale simulation experiment, the necessary conditions are used to reduce the solution space quickly, and the second level accurate solution is achieved. The generality, efficiency and reliability of the model and method are further demonstrated.

Key words: human machine cooperation, task allocation, the many to many assignment, cool down time constraint
