The '''MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems''' is a research labotarory of [[MIT]], working in the areas of communication, controls, and signal processing. It is located in the [[Stata Center]]. The current director is Prof. Vincent Chan.

It traces its beginnings to the [[MIT Servomechanics Laboratory]], where much work on guidance systems were done in the 1970s. It is linked to the [[Charles Stark Draper Laboratory]] located nearby, and closely works with the [[Lincoln Laboratory]] just outside of [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]].

Affectionately called ''LIDS'', the laboratory has hosted several luminaries over the years, such as [[Claude Shannon]].
