Service Level Management is a process (really a collection of processes, and activities ordered around a service development 'business cycle')
The Service Desk is a function - a unit with in the IT organisation. There are no 'Service Desk Processes'
The Service Desk uses the products of service level managment - most notable SLA's and the Service Catalogue. A lot of the information collected at the service desk will also be an input into Service Level Managment.
