This paper describes the architecture and the implementation of Multishelf - a decentralized Peer-to-Peer infomediator. Multishelf was designed and built during a ten-week senior software methodology course using the Proem Peer-to-Peer platform. We discuss the infomediation problem, present our scalable Peer-to-Peer solution including the effectiveness of using the Proem Peer-to-Peer platform, and conclude with plans for future work.
