CODES for INSPEC (File 4)
Classification Codes are available in INSPEC to narrow to a topic
within a subfile.  Each subfile (A, Physics; B, Electrical
Engineering and Electronics; C, Computers & Control; D, Information
Technology) has a different classification scheme, but each scheme
is hierarchical.  The broadest classification is at the two digit
level, with increasing specificity with additional digits, e.g.,

CC=B8     Power systems & applications
CC=B8100  Power networks & systems
CC=B8110  Power systems
CC=B8110B Power system management, operation & economics

Please expand online using the two digit classification in order 
to see more details of the classification system used in INSPEC

Section A: Physics
CC=A0     General
CC=A1     The physics of elementary particles & fields
CC=A2     Nuclear physics
CC=A3     Atomic & molecular physics
CC=A4     Classical areas of phenomenology
CC=A5     Fluids, plasmas & electric discharges
CC=A6     Condensed matter: structure, thermal & mechanical
CC=A7     Electron states in condensed matter
CC=A8     Cross-disciplinary physics & related areas of science 
                and Technology
CC=A9     Geophysics, astronomy & astrophysics

Section B: Electrical Engineering and Electronics
CC=B0     General topics, engineering mathematics & materials science
