Abstract: In this paper, we show that the Ozsv'ath-Szab'o contact invariant $c^{+}(xi)inH{F}^{+}(-Y)$ of a contact 3-manifold $(Y,xi)$ can be calculated combinatorially if $Y$ is the boundary of a certain type of plumbing $X$, and $xi$ is induced by a Stein structure on $X$. Our technique uses an algorithm of Ozsv'ath and Szab'o to determine the Heegaard-Floer homology of such 3-manifolds. We discuss two important applications of this technique in contact topology. First, we show that it simplifies the calculation of the Ozsv'ath-Stipsicz-Szab'o obstruction to admitting a planar open book. Then we define a numerical invariant of contact manifolds that respects a partial ordering induced by Stein cobordisms. We do a sample calculation showing that the invariant can get infinitely many distinct values.
