Large distributed control systems present non trivial problems during integration. In order to successfully perform integration, MAS methodology has been widely incorporated. Multiple, distributed over the network, types of server objects can be treated as a good example of such dynamic systems. This paper describes multiple user cooperation problems during large system integration. The introduced MAS forms a top level interaction layer over the existing system which is composite of hierarchically organized internal sub layers. Each layer consists of multiple interacting agents which are indivisible functional entities that can form larger cooperating subsystems inside their parent layer. Concurrent user cooperation over the integrated system is performed by means of top level MAS layer which provides indirect access to all system resources possibly by the graphical interface. Concurrent user cooperation is possible through multiple agent interfaces and because agents are created in both Java and .Net no real obstacle currently exists. Possible user conflicts are solved in the real time automatically by the internal MAS system mechanisms because all system agents are independent to some extent.
