Abstract
The inclusion of participants that are representative of the diverse populations of users is essential for meaningful and useful evaluations of usability and accessibility on the web. This paper proposes the requirements and architecture for an automated tool suite to help manage the design and deployment of evaluations to these participants. A prototype implementation of this architecture that is being prepared is also discussed.
