  ABSTRACT = {Combinatorial Auctions are an attractive
application of intelligent agents; their applications are
countless and are shown to provide good revenues. On the other
hand, one of the issues they raise is the computational complexity
of the solving process (the Winner Determination Problem, WDP),
that delayed their practical use. Recently, efficient solvers have
been applied to the WDP, so the framework starts to be viable.
%
A second issue, common to many other agent systems, is {\em
trust}: in order for an agent system to be used, the users must
{\em trust} both their representative and the other agents
inhabiting the society: malicious agents must be found, and their
violations discovered. The SOCS project addresses such issues, and
provided a language, the  social integrity constraints, for
defining the allowed interaction moves, together with a proof
procedure able to detect violations.
%
In this paper we show how to write a protocol for the
combinatorial auctions by using social integrity constraints. In
the devised protocol, the auctioneer interacts with an external
solver for the winner determination problem.},
