Inspired by the Open Software development model, Open Design is based on information and methodology applied to the design process, prioritizing free and open access and participation. In order to characterize Open Design in interactive computing systems and to identify the state of the art in this area, this paper presents a systematic mapping. Based on 12 selected papers, the main results indicate: (a) the absence of a general characterization encompassing the structure, process and tools; (b) a consensus on using Open Design because of its possible benefits; (c) lack of stakeholder involvement in research; and (d) lack of evaluation of research results. Data obtained from the mapping suggest Open Design is at a conceptual and exploratory stage where investigations are mostly conceptual and propositions of technical solutions are rare. Finally, the paper proposes a characterization for Open Design and suggests a research agenda for the area.
