The '''MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems''' ('''LIDS''') is an interdisciplinary research laboratory of [[MIT]], working on research in the areas of [[communications system|communications]], [[control theory|control]], and [[digital signal processing|signal processing]] combining faculty from the [[MIT School of Engineering|School of Engineering]] (including the [[MIT_School_of_Engineering#Aeronautics_and_Astronautics|Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics]]), the [[MIT Mathematics Department|Department of Mathematics]] and the [[MIT Sloan School of Management]]. The lab is located in the [[Ray and Maria Stata Center#Description|Dreyfoos Tower]] of the [[Ray and Maria Stata Center|Stata Center]] and shares some research duties with MITs [[Lincoln Laboratory]] and the independent [[Charles Stark Draper Laboratory]]. {{As of|2014|07}}, the current acting director is Prof. Alan S. Willsky.

== History ==

The Laboratory traces its beginnings to the [[MIT Servomechanics Laboratory]], where work on guidance systems and early computation was done during [[World War II]].

Known as ''LIDS'', the Laboratory has hosted several luminaries over the years, including [[Claude Shannon]] and [[Dave Forney|David Forney]]. {{As of|2014|07}}, the current acting director is Prof. [[Alan S.
