In a method for determining an optimized fuel injection profile in an internal combustion engine, a setpoint combustion profile is firstly defined. Furthermore, at least one influential parameter which influences the setpoint combustion profile is determined. With the influential parameter, a corrected fuel injection profile is determined in a closed-loop control process. This method is preferably repeated iteratively.
