Abstract
A one-dimensional model of a rice-pile is numerically studied for different driving mechanisms. We found that for a sufficiently large system, there i s a sharp transition between the trivial behaviour of a 1D BTW model and se lf-organized critical (SOC) behaviour. Depending on the driving mechanism, the self-organized critical rice-pile model belongs to two different univer sality classes.
