Christian Bessiere
EducationPh.D. in computer science

Christian Bessiere is a French computer scientist. He is research director at Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS, the French national institute for research).[1] His lab is hosted by University of Montpellier, France. He is known for his work in artificial intelligence, especially in the area of constraint programming.

Career

[edit]

Bessiere received a Ph.D. in computer science in 1992.[2]

In 2007, Bessiere was the program chair of the International Conference on Principles and Practice of Constraint Programming (CP).[3] In 2012, he was the organizing committee chair of the European Conference on Artificial Intelligence (ECAI).[4] In 2020, he was the program chair of the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI).[2][5] He has been associate editor of the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research (JAIR) from 2008 to 2011, and associate editor of the Artificial Intelligence journal from 2011 to 2017.[6][7] He has been a member of the advisory board of the Constraints journal since 2009.[8]

In 2005, Bessiere was a founding member of the Association for Constraint Programming (ACP).[9] He was a member of its executive committee until 2009, and its Treasurer until 2007.[10]  He was the president of the IJCAI board of trustees from 2021 to 2023.[11]  In 2024, he founded the Artificial Intelligence Scientific Organizations Coordinating Council (AISOCC) together with Eugene Freuder and Francesca Rossi.[12]

In 2024, Bessiere was a member of the AAAI Presidential Panel on the Future of AI Research.[13] In 2024, he gave a keynote speech at the UNESCO World Conference on Digital Education, in Shanghai.[14] In 2025, he spoke at the Panel on 'Artificial Intelligence: Risks and Global Regulation' at the World Peace Forum, in Beijing.[15]

Honours and awards

[edit]

In 2006, Bessiere has been elected a Fellow of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence (EurAI).[16] In 2012, his paper Arc consistency and arc consistency again[17] received an honourable mention at the 'AAAI Classic Paper Award'.[18] In 2022, his paper An Optimal Coarse-grained Arc Consistency Algorithm[19] received the 'AIJ Classic Paper Award'[20] In 2026, Bessiere received the IJCAI Donald E. Walker Distinguished Service Award.[21]
