In this paper, we propose a method for generating macro-models of mobile multi-agent systems to explain their emergent cooperative behaviors at macro-level. As an example for this method, we choose foraging behaviors of ant colony, which is a typical natural multi-agent system and shows complex cooperative behaviors without any central control nor higher cognitive mechanisms. In the method, a macro-model generator receives macro-behavior rules which are descriptions of the condition and the effect of phenomena observed in a target system, and the reasoner generates a macro-model which includes physical phenomenon models, qualitative regions(description of spatial extents), their geometric relations, and causal graphs consisting of monotonic and differential relations among state variables. We report the results of numerical simulations for a simple model case of foraging and the way of generating their macro-models.
