ABSTRACT:
In an internal combustion engine, which is provided with a variable valve mechanism that varies an open/close characteristic of an intake valve, a target open/close characteristic of the intake valve is determined. Simultaneously, a control speed at a time when the intake valve is controlled to have the target open/close characteristic is determined. As a result, the variable valve mechanism is controlled according to the target open/close characteristic and the control speed.
