Abstract
The US Department of Defense (DoD) is planning for the implementation of a DoD directory capability based on CCITT recommendations X.500-X.521, which define the data communication networks directory. The functional and operational requirements that define the DoD directory will yield a system with a significant level of comlexity. Problems and barriers which impede progress toward the envisioned DoD directory service exist. The authors describe these problems and the artificial-intelligence-based approach developed to solve and reduce them in order to achieve a usable, capable, secure, and manageable DoD directory service.
