Abstract
It is argued that a system governed by self-organized-criticality (SOC) dynamics can lack Poisson waiting-time statistics not only when the experimental resolution lies within the self-similar scale range but also if the system is slowly driven in a correlated way. This result thus suggests that waiting time statistics cannot be used as a necessary test for SOC behavior in real physical systems.Keywords
