Data computation in a multi-domain cloud environment

A method comprising:

• intercepting, by a gateway device coupled between a server and a client device, encoded data and a set of operation identifiers sent by the server to the client device in response to a request for cloud services associated with a cloud computation operation by the client device, each operation identifier uniquely identifying a computational operation, wherein the gateway device is unable to perform the cloud computation operation and wherein the encoded data and the set of operation identifiers are selected by the server based on the requested cloud services and based on a set of operations that the gateway device is able to perform such that computational operations identified by the set of operation identifiers, when performed in a particular order, produce an operation result equivalent to an operation result produced by the cloud computation operation associated with the requested cloud services;
• decoding, by the gateway device, the encoded data to produce decoded data;
• performing, by the gateway device, the computational operations identified by the set of operation identifiers to produce an operation result;
• and
• providing, by the gateway device, the operation result to the client device.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable computer instructions that, when executed by a processor of a gateway device coupled between a server and a client device, cause the processor to perform steps comprising:

• intercepting, by the gateway device, encoded data and a set of operation identifiers sent by the server to the client device in response to a request for cloud services associated with a cloud computation operation by the client device, each operation identifier uniquely identifying a computational operation, wherein the gateway device is unable to perform the cloud computation operation and wherein the encoded data and the set of operation identifiers are selected by the server based on the requested cloud services and based on a set of operations that the gateway device is able to perform such that computational operations identified by the set of operation identifiers, when performed in a particular order, produce an operation result equivalent to an operation result produced by the cloud computation operation associated with the requested cloud services;
• decoding, by the gateway device, the encoded data to produce decoded data;
• performing, by the gateway device, the computational operations identified by the set of operation identifiers to produce an operation result;
• and
• providing, by the gateway device, the operation result to the client device.
