This paper considers the issue of mobile computing offloading, in which multiple mobile services in a workflow can be invoked to meet their complex needs and decide whether to uninstall workflow services, taking into account the dependencies between the component services, and aims to optimize the execution time and energy consumption of executing mobile services. A GA-based algorithm is applied to the above problems. After design and implementation, it partially modifies the traditional genetic algorithm to meet special requirements for the problem. Simulation experiments show that the experimental results of GA algorithm are better than Local Execution algorithm and RANDOM algorithm. %U http://cea.ceaj.org/EN/10.3778/j.issn.1002-8331.1806-0139
