Overview

Microsoft Research is identified in the provided evidence as the organization that developed Z3, a satisfiability modulo theories (SMT) solver. In the cited UCLID5 formal-verification workflow, UCLID5 generates verification conditions and then invokes an SMT solver; the reported work used Z3, described as developed at Microsoft Research.
