Modern software systems can be large. They often have a complex architecture and non-trivial behaviour. That is why different modelling techniques are used for their design and analysis. Illustrative visualization of a system architecture can facilitate better analysis and give useful insights. In this paper we propose an approach for visualization of software system models. We introduce layered layouts aimed to combine the advantages of 2D and 3D visualizations. The paper describes the concept of layered layouts and shows how they can represent different model characteristics in a single view. A prototype tool for visualization of hierarchical and multi-agent software system models using nested Petri nets notation is shown to illustrate the idea.
