Plasma is the name of the new desktop which replaced KDesktop in KDE4. You may think that it is a union of SuperKaramba and KDesktop, but it's more. It's a whole concept of functionality and beauty.
Its implementation is based on the Qt Graphics View Framework introduced in Qt 4.2.
From a developer point of view there are some classes in libplasma who play central roles.
